AALS Agency/Partnership Section

Reminder:

The Section on Agency, Partnership, LLCs and Unincorporated Associations, which I'm chairing this year, will meet at Friday, January 9, 1:30 — 3:15 pm, Coronado, South Tower/Level 4, San Diego Marriott Hotel & Marina. 

This year we had a call for presentations

on the application of modern theories and empirical methods of business associations to agency and unincorporated firms. The program has two goals: First, to show how these theories can be enriched by taking them outside the "box" of corporate law; and second, to show the relevance of agency and unincorporated firms to the mainstream of corporate theory and empirics. . .  

The following presentations were selected:

• Kelli A. Alces, Florida State, Learning How to Replace Mandatory Fiduciary Duties by Looking at Unincorporated Firms
• Matthew Bodie, St. Louis University School of Law, NASCAR and the Theory of the Firm
• Mark J. Loewenstein, University of Colorado, The Diverging Meaning of Good Faith
• Marie Reilly, Pennsylvania State, In Good Times and in Debt: The Evolution of Marital Agency and the Meaning of Marriage
• Larry Ribstein, University of Illinois, A Theory of the Uncorporation
• Leonard Rotman, Faculty of Law, University of Windsor, The Impact of Fiduciary Duties on Partnerships and Corporations.

Should be an interesting session.  See you there!
