New Article: Rights Architecture for Legal Organizations

What do shareholders "own," what do directors "owe," and to whom?

Would love it if you were willing to provide criticisms and comments on this initial draft: https://t.co/m5KwAlk0iV

This case is remarkable. Also, this means that even if we imagine a world in which AI can do governance advice the same or better than lawyers, the simple discovery issue will let us keep our job , unless the AI platforms lawyer-wrap their technology I suppose

Thanksgiving ex ante/ ex post illustration just dropped: fam was discussing turducken. I mentioned that there is also a hybrid animal that is a DNA mix of all of them, not just the food

#Delaware, #Texas, #Nevada, or federal incorporation? Andrew Appleby and I revealed another option: multistate incorporation.

The Framers encouraged such neglected cooperation under The Compact Clause of the Constitution.

Time to revisit? https://t.co/yBCk9AAJfb

In 2024, I argued directors aren't agents, criticizing the #Moelis amendments. "The Merging of Ownership and Control" was just published by @GaLRev this week. My new article below provides the theory behind my view of the firm. Connecting the Hohfeldian and Coasean spirits.

I find it impressive that AI can learn to cheat in unprompted and unanticipated ways. But I think it will be even more impressive if AI could develop dominant strategies of cooperation (e.g., tit-for-tat) without being prompted to do so. Has it? https://t.co/HCHQOLJD09

@ProfArbel @henry_thomp Thank you Yonathan! Some I have already, but some I don't, and I will add definitely add!!

I am teaching a "private ordering" seminar this semester (as well as M&A). Idea is to have a seminar that introduces students to all the great (and useful) works in both law & econ and legal theory. What article would you say is a must? Would love to check against my syllabus

[Tomer Stein @Stein_Tomer]

@IThinkIAgree great point. I assigned an article that explains J&M and others, but you are making me consider assigning it directly

[Tomer Stein @Stein_Tomer]

To give an idea of what I am going for, we are reading Hohfeld for class 1 and Coase for class 2

@ProfGrewal @GaLRev Thank you! I am looking forward to it

[Tomer Stein @Stein_Tomer]

Excited that my Article, The Merging of Ownership and Control, has been accepted for publication by the Georgia Law Review @GaLRev! The Article presents my theory of directors as residual obligors and addresses the recent amendments concerning shareholder agreements.

[Tomer Stein @Stein_Tomer]

@ProfRobAnderson pretty much, I find that stressing the distinctions between maintenance and incurrence covenants really gets things going
