Can history deepen our understanding of current controversies in corporate law? Our conference will include four principal papers by leading scholars working on aspects of corporate legal history. Commenters will come from a range of legal and non-legal disciplines. The conference will conclude with a roundtable discussion involving distinguished judges and practitioners who, together with the academic participants, will consider the question, “does history matter? — views from the bench and bar.” Our hope is that a serious look at the relevance of legal history will add a fresh and stimulating perspective on pressing contemporary issues.
