Social Justice Forum: Writing by SCU Law Faculty

Thursday, February 11, 2010 from noon to 1 p.m. in Bannan 139

Professor David Yosifon will lead a discussion of his forthcoming article:
"Corporate Social Responsibility After Citzens United"

This article develops a new argument for why corporate law should depart from the shareholder primacy norm which presently dominates American corporate governance. The argument begins by highlighting shareholder primacy theory’s reliance on the availability of external government regulation to curb corporate exploitation of non-shareholding stakeholders in the corporate enterprise, including workers and consumers. The shareholder primacy norm in corporate governance engenders a public choice problem that makes reliance on such external regulation implausible. Profit seeking corporations work to undermine the development of the very regulatory institutions that shareholder primacists would charge with curbing corporate operations. The shareholder primacy corporation enjoys critical advantages over other corporate stakeholders in the competition for regulatory favor. Because of their capital concentration, limited liability, singular interest, and relatively small numbers compared to other groups and individuals in our society, corporations can routinely beat out other corporate stakeholders competition for regulatory favor. This public choice problem is well recognized within regulatory theory generally, but it is under-theorized in corporate law and corporate theory. When forced to confront this public choice problem, shareholder primacists usually prescribe greater regulation of corporate political activity in order to insulate the political process for corporate influence. But this article suggests that the First Amendment’s guarantees against government regulation of speech makes such a response implausible.

Confronting this analytic dead-end, this article concludes that the only viable response to the public choice problem in corporate law is to alter corporate governance regimes such that firms are not managed in the exclusive interests of shareholders, but instead operate under a multi-fiduciary regime which requires directors to attend directly to the interest of multiple stakeholders at the level of firm governance. This article examines in particular the implications of charging firm managers with being fiduciaries of consumers, as the interest of consumers as corporate stakeholders is largely undeveloped in corporate law scholarship. Having reached the conclusion that multi-fiduciary corporate governance is necessary, the article then demonstrates that implementing a multi-fiduciary regime is feasible and requires little departure from the fundamental mechanics of corporate governance under the shareholder primacy regime.

Excerpts of the article for discussion will be available to students at on February 1, 2010 outside the Faculty Support Office, 214 Bergin Hall or at http://law.scu.edu/socialjustice/file/David%20Yosifon%20Article.pdf.

Women and Law Stories Conference: The Power of Women’s Stories II: Examining Women’s Role in Law and the Legal System

Friday, April 16, 2010 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Bannan 142

Law schools began offering Women and Law courses in the early 1970s. Since that time, many textbooks have examined law through the lens of feminist legal theory. Women continue to feel the impact of changing legal developments in areas as disparate as violence against women, sexual harassment, discrimination at work, mothering and reproduction, families, women and the legal profession, education, and health. Yet scholars have often neglected the power of women’s stories and what these stories teach us about law and social change. This conference focuses on the women whose lives led to these legal changes and who continue to inspire the need for further progress. It also celebrates WOMEN AND THE LAW STORIES (ELIZABETH SCHNEIDER & STEPHANIE WILDMAN, eds., Foundation Press) (forthcoming).
