Professor Christopher Bruner, the Stembler Family Distinguished Professor in Business Law here at the University of Georgia School of Law, took part in last Friday’s 2020 Maryland Law Review symposium, titled “Delaware’s Emerging Competition and the Future of American Corporate Law.”

Bruner, currently on a research stay at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, provided his presentation remotely of his working paper titled “Leveraging Corporate Law: A Broader Account of Delaware’s Competition.” Available at SSRN, the paper explores the increasingly global competitive landscape that Delaware – in the words of symposium organizers, “historically the most important jurisdiction for corporate law in the United States” – faces in corporate chartering and related fields.
