Does Delaware Compete?: How State Corporate Law and Federal Securities Law Interact Professor Mark J. Roe, Harvard Law School Tuesday, March 27, 2007 5:00 – 7:00 p.m., Reception to Follow Professor Mark J. Roe, the David Berg Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, discussed the relationship between Delaware corporate law and federal regulation of public corporations through federal securities law and how that federal-Delaware relationship interacts with Delaware’s goals of providing good corporate law to firms and of attracting reincorporations from other states.

A prolific scholar, he has written Strong Managers, Weak Owners (Princeton, 1994), Political Determinants of Corporate Governance (Oxford, 2003) and the casebook, Bankruptcy and Corporate Reorganization (West, 2000). He has also written numerous articles, among them “Delaware’s Politics,” and “Legal Origin, Politics, and Modern Stock Markets,” in the Harvard Law Review, “Corporate Law’s Limits,” in the Journal of Legal Studies, and “Political Preconditions to Ownership Separation” and “Rents and Their Corporate Consequences,” in the Stanford Law Review. Commentators for the lecture were Donald C. Langevoort , Thomas Aquinas Reynolds Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center, and Geoffrey P. Miller, Stuyvesant P. Comfort Professor of Law and Director, Center for the Study of Central Banks, New York University School of Law. Brooklyn Law School’s Professor James A. Fanto served as moderator. The Pomerantz Lecture honors the life and work of Abraham L. Pomerantz, a 1924 graduate of Brooklyn Law School. The lecture series focuses on topics of corporate securities law and related issues of professional responsibility. The law firm of Pomerantz Haudek Block Grossman & Gross LLP, of which Abraham Pomerantz was the founding partner, provides continuing support for the series. View video from the event.
