Christine Abely, faculty fellow at New England Law Boston, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss her article Adjusting Pre- and Post-Judgment Interest Rates for Consumer Debt Collection Actions. In this article Abely explains that fixed statutory rates for pre- and post-judgement interest can result in windfalls for creditors that come at the expense of consumer debtors.

Julian Arato, professor of law at Brooklyn Law School, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his article The Elastic Corporate Form in International Law. In this article, Arato confronts a tendency by arbitral panels in investor-state disputes to reach decisions that are inconsistent with domestic corporate laws. Examples include allowing shareholders to press claims for third-party harms to a corporation, something domestic laws ordinarily do not permit. This practice, Arato explains, could increase the cost of capital and thus undermine investment treaties’ goal of fostering efficient investment.

This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, assistant professor at Brooklyn Law School.

Amelia Miazad, faculty director of the Business in Society Institute at UC Berkeley, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss her article Prosocial Antitrust. Miazad argues that antitrust agencies should become more accommodating to collaboration between competitors in areas of systemic risk, like climate change and environmental protection.

Lawrence Cunningham, research professor of law at George Washington University, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his articles The Case for Empowering Quality Shareholders and Ask the Smart Money: Shareholder Votes by a "Majority of the Quality Shareholders". In these articles, Cunningham examines the unique role that "quality shareholders"—concentrated, long-term investors—can play compared to indexed or transient investors. In considering these three cohorts, he concludes that majority-of-the-minority voting for conflicted corporate transactions is often inadequate to the purpose. As a private-ordering solution to this problem, Cunningham proposes that boards adopt majority-of-the-quality-shareholder voting, as well.

Anita Krug, dean and professor of law at Chicago-Kent College of Law, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss her article Temporary Securities Regulation. Krug presents case studies of SEC temporary rulemaking in times of crisis, including those made in the aftermath of the 9-11 attacks and at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

She cautions, however, that crisis rulemaking risks curtailing investor protections just when they are needed most.

Roy Shapira, associate professor at IDC Herzliya, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his article A New Caremark Era: Causes and Consequences. Shapira observes that Delaware's Caremark doctrine, which has long imposed compliance duties on boards without much opportunity for shareholders to bring related claims, has entered a new era in a recent quartet of cases. He predicts that this turn of Caremark claims surviving motions to dismiss is the result of parallel developments around shareholders' Section 220 inspection rights. Shapira closes by highlighting the potential for a "new" Caremark to complement other compliance-enforcement mechanisms.

Carliss Chatman, associate professor of law at Washington & Lee University, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss her article Corporate Family Matters. In this article Chatman observes that contemporary large businesses operate through entity networks.

Sadie Blanchard, associate professor of law at the University of Notre Dame, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss her article Contracts Without Courts or Clans: How Business Networks Govern Exchange. In this article Blanchard explains that under some conditions contracts can be formed and successfully carried out without enforcement by public courts or tight-knit social groups. She presents a case study of the reinsurance trade circa 1980 to demonstrate this point, which shows that the reinsurance industry long thrived on an international basis that did not require judicial or localized reputational enforcement.

Edmund Schuster, associate professor of corporate law at the London School of Economics, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his article Cloud Crypto Land. In this article, Schuster explains why enthusiasm around blockchain and smart-contract technologies must confront rule-of-law concerns that would make their application to new legal and economic use-cases doubtful. Instead, he argues, these technologies should not be expected to meaningfully expand outside the realm of cryptocurrency.

Michael Klausner, professor of business and law at Stanford University, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his article A Sober Look at SPACs, which was written with co-authors Michael Ohlrogge and Emily Ruan.

The authors explain how this result is partly driven by current U.S. securities regulation and recommend reforms to address differential regulatory treatment of SPACs and traditional IPOs.

Laura Coordes, associate professor of law at Arizona State University, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss her article Bespoke Bankruptcy. This article considers instances in which debtors require bankruptcy-like protections despite not fitting within the Bankruptcy Code's existing chapters.

This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, a teaching fellow and lecturer in law at Stanford Law School.

Emily Strauss, clinical professor of law at Duke University, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss her article Is Everything Securities Fraud?. In this article, Strauss analyzes the extent to which corporate harms to non-shareholders—such as victims of oil spills, tainted medicines, or defective automobiles—come to serve as the basis for securities litigation. Based on her findings, she concludes that this event-driven securities litigation could have deterrent effects but is likely a suboptimal mechanism for mitigating harms to non-shareholder victims of corporate misconduct.

This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, a teaching fellow and lecturer in law at Stanford Law School.

Asaf Raz, a research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his article Mandatory Arbitration and the Boundaries of Corporate Law. In this article, Raz considers whether case developments point toward mandatory arbitration clauses being incorporated into corporate charters and bylaws, which he predicts would have a negative impact on corporate governance. He further examines whether a contractarian view of the corporation—which, under the Federal Arbitration Act, could justify such provisions—should hold or whether corporate law should be viewed as a distinct body of law.
