{"title":"The Qualified Legal Compliance Committee: Using the Attorney Conduct Rules to Restructure the Board of Directors","authors":"Jill E. Fisch, C. M. Gentile","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.471302","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.471302","url":null,"abstract":"With the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Congress vested the Securities and Exchange Commission with the authority to promulgate professional standards of conduct for attorneys. The Commission, however, went beyond requiring that attorneys report corporate misconduct \"up the ladder\" by introducing a new corporate governance structure - the qualified legal compliance committee or QLCC. The QLCC reduces the statutory emphasis on lawyers as gatekeepers in favor of increasing the focus on board structure and director independence. Although increasing reliance on the board of directors rather than outside gatekeepers to prevent and address corporate misconduct may well be desirable, several components of QLCCs are problematic. The Commission appears to have given little consideration to the potential costs of establishing QLCCs. At the same time, the potential benefits of QLCCs may be overstated. These facts are particularly troubling, because the Commission's rules provide incentives for attorneys to pressure issuers to create QLCCs as a means of reducing the attorney's own liability. Accordingly, issuer decisions to create QLCCs could be influenced more by the market for legal services than the benefits and costs of QLCCs themselves. Finally, the Commission's conception of the ideal corporate governance model is open to question. QLCCs are part of a continuing effort to reduce corporate misconduct by enhancing the monitoring role of the board of directors through a rule-based approach to board structure and director independence. As recent governance scandals demonstrate, this approach is unlikely to produce radical changes in the effectiveness of directors, primarily because rules specifying board structure and director independence do not create adequate incentives for directors to take a more active role in monitoring corporate management. We conclude by considering ways to address the incentives of directors, including increased director liability, changes to director compensation, and alternative mechanisms for director selection. Although each of these methods is imperfect, collectively they illustrate the limitations of the Commission's approach, which emphasizes board structure without adequately addressing director passivity. The range of options available to improve director incentives and accountability highlights the shortcomings of the Commission's current rulemaking efforts.","PeriodicalId":47625,"journal":{"name":"Duke Law Journal","volume":"53 1","pages":"517-584"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2003-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67742969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mediation only cases are matters submitted to the court solely for the purpose of invoking the services of a member of the Court of Chancery as a mediator to help the parties resolve a business dispute through a mediated settlement. The judicial-mediator would have no adjudicative role in the traditional sense, but would solely act to facilitate a mutually acceptable resolution.In the essay, the author identifies the possible utility of this concept - which was recently enacted into law - and its consistency, in broad terms, with the historic role of the Delaware Court of Chancery in filling \"gaps\" in corporate instruments and commercial contracts.","PeriodicalId":47625,"journal":{"name":"Duke Law Journal","volume":"53 1","pages":"585-596"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2003-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68706974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Virtues of Knowing Less: Justifying Privacy Protections Against Disclosure","authors":"Daniel J. Solove","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.440200","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.440200","url":null,"abstract":"This Article develops justifications for protections against the disclosure of private information. An extensive body of scholarship has attacked such protections as anathema to the Information Age, where the free flow of information is championed as a fundamental value. This Article responds to two general critiques of disclosure protections: (1) that they inhibit freedom of speech, and (2) that they restrict information useful for judging others. Regarding the free speech critique, the Article argues that not all speech is of equal value; speech of private concern is less valuable than speech of public concern. The difficulty, however, is distinguishing between public and private concerns. Traditional approaches include deferring to the media, distinguishing between public and private figures, and looking to the nature of the information disclosed. However, these approaches are flawed. Instead, we should focus on the relationships in which information is transferred and the uses to which information is put. The propriety of disclosures depends upon their purpose, not merely on the type of information disclosed. The Article analogizes to the law of evidence, in which certain information is admissible for some purposes but not others and then examines the values of free speech and argues that privacy often furthers the same ends, demonstrating that free speech should not always prevail in the balance. Next, the Article tackles the judgment and trust critique, which views personal information as essential for making judgments about whether to trust people with whom one associates. Although personal information can help facilitate judgments about other people, the Article contends that these judgments are often made quickly and out of context. In short, more information does not necessarily lead to more accurate judgments. The Article also contends that privacy protects against certain rational judgments that society may want to prohibit (such as employment decisions based on genetic information). The Article then responds to commentators who argue that gossip is valuable because it helps educate us about human nature and argues that the value of concealing one's past can, in many circumstances, outweigh the benefits of disclosure.","PeriodicalId":47625,"journal":{"name":"Duke Law Journal","volume":"53 1","pages":"967-1065"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2003-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2139/SSRN.440200","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68788009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
