Fall 2009 | Hosted by Professor Darian Ibrahim
The Corporate Governance Colloquium offers students a first-hand
look at cutting-edge legal scholarship in the field of corporate
governance. Every other week the Colloquium will host a visiting
legal
scholar who will present a recent paper or work in progress for
discussion by the class. In the week before the speaker's visit,
students and the Instructor will read and discuss foundational
works on corporate governance related to the upcoming presentation.
Unless otherwise noted below, seminars are held Wednesdays in Lubar
Commons (Law Building, 7th Floor) from 2:25 - 4:25 pm.
