AALS SECTION ON BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS
Call for Papers
JANUARY 2008 ANNUAL MEETING

The AALS Section on Business Associations will meet during the AALS Annual Meeting in New York City, from 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm on Thursday, January 3, 2008.

The topic for this year’s session is "Corporate Law in Global Markets." The globalization of markets for capital, products, and managers has cast a bright spotlight on domestic legal regimes, including U.S. corporate governance laws. In the first half of the session, a roundtable discussion among scholars from the U.S. and Europe will explore the international competition of corporate governance laws.

The second half of the session will feature paper presentations based on submissions made in response to this Call for Papers. While possible topics include regulatory competition, the Executive Committee of the Section encourages submissions on other aspects of comparative corporate governance; the implications of reincorporation of U.S. corporations; the regulation of multinational corporations; inter-jurisdictional litigation and enforcement; the role of stock exchanges; and the like.

If you are interested in presenting a paper, please submit a summary of no more than three double-spaced pages (e-mail preferred) before Friday, August 17, 2007. In addition to the summary, you may also submit a complete draft of your paper. Direct your submission to:
