This article suggests that statutes governing both corporations and limited liability companies should require all owners to read several warnings about the dangers of a lack of advance planning before starting a business, or before purchasing an equity interest in an existing closely held business. Part I of this article reviews the current landscape of available business forms and details the many ways in which the majority owners of a business can take advantage of the minority owners. Part I also reviews the many ways in which the minority owner could have protected himself -- if he had the foresight to do so. Part II then reviews the main statutory and judicial responses to the problem of minority owner oppression and discusses their inadequacy. After discussing some other suggesti...

The George W. Bush administration will long be remembered for its constitutional and legal arguments on behalf of exclusive and inherent executive power. In its extreme form, this uncompromising effort appears to have failed, and may even have pushed the judicial branch to limit executive authority and return to a more traditional insistence on interbranch cooperation in foreign affairs. Ironically, the Bush-Cheney legal legacy ultimately will depend on the Barack Obama administration's public commitments and legal arguments, but early evidence suggests that President Obama's assertions of executive power will rest less on assertions of constitutional prerogative, and more heavily on statutory delegation as well as long-standing judicial precedent.

This paper chronicles in rich detail the difficult path of institutionalizing participatory practice in local governance policies through community planning efforts in Tempe, Arizona spanning over fifteen years (1989 to 2007) of citizen/practitioner involvement. This All-America City (2003, National Civic League) in the Phoenix metropolitan area is a case study in how collaborative efforts among citizens, grassroots organizers, nonprofit organizations, and advocate city staff led to the adoption of public policies guiding citizen engagement in community development activities on the part of both public and private actors. While the achievement of a formal statement of democratic intent is a substantive benchmark that can serve as an exemplar for other local governments, this case also s...

This essay: (i) puts into perspective the past 20 years of developments in the U.S. law of limited liability companies (LLCs), limited liability partnerships (LLPs), and limited liability limited partnerships (LLLPs); (ii) explains how a movement toward tax rationalization has been transformed into a palace coup aimed at fiduciary duty (a fundamental tenet of the U.S. law of closely held businesses); and (iii) criticizes both conceptually and pragmatically efforts to "kill Cardozo" and worship "freedom of contract.
