SEC Approves Regulation Best Interest, Form
In classic Greek mythology, a golden apple of discord inscribed "For the fairest" was awarded to Aphrodite, beginning a chain of events that led to the Trojan War.

A legendary performer and global ambassador for his hometown of New Orleans, he won six Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Hall of Fame—but how many people have Muppets created in their image? At least Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem play on. SEC approves Regulation Best Interest, Form CRS At a long-anticipated meeting on Wednesday, the Securities and Exchange Commission voted 3-1 to approve a package of rules and guidance establishing the obligations of investment advisers and brokers to their customers. Regulation Best Interest (BI) goes beyond previous “suitability” standards for investment brokers to ban certain practices and address elements of the broker-customer relationship including cost considerations and conflicts in broker compensation. Form CRS is a streamlined disclosure document to provide retail customers with information about fees, costs, services, conflicts of interest, the applicable standards of conduct, and any previous legal or disciplinary history. The Commission also approved an interpretation that updates and clarifies the standards of conduct for investment advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and an interpretation of the “solely incidental” aspect of the broker-dealer exclusion under the Investment Advisers Act, intended to offer clearer guidance about when a broker- dealer’s activities cross the threshold to become investment advice.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Delaware Judiciary Expresses Condolences on Passing of Retired Chancellor William T
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Delaware Judiciary Expresses Condolences on Passing of Retired Chancellor William T. Allen October 14, 2019 The Delaware Judiciary was saddened to learn of the passing on Sunday of retired Chancellor William T. Allen, a giant of the corporate bar, academia, and the Delaware Bench. The Judiciary expresses its deepest condolences to the friends and family of Chancellor Allen. Allen, 75, was appointed as Chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery by Governor Mike Castle in 1985. He served until 1997 when he returned to his alma mater, New York University, to teach law and re-entered private practice at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. “Our nation lost one of the finest jurists of the last fifty years yesterday,” said Delaware Supreme Court Chief Justice Leo E. Strine, Jr. “Chancellor Allen set a standard of excellence that made Delaware stand out in the eyes of all sophisticated observers. Bill Allen, the person, set a standard as a husband, father, friend, and caring professor to which we should all aspire. For me personally, he was a mentor, source of wisdom, and an inspiration. Everyone in Delaware owes him a debt of gratitude for what he did for our state, and our Judiciary’s hearts are with his wife and children, as they endure the loss of this special man.” “I was saddened on Sunday to learn of the passing of former Chancellor Allen — one of Delaware’s finest legal minds,” said Delaware Governor John Carney. “Bill helped set and maintain a reputation of excellence on Delaware’s Court of Chancery.

Understanding the 2016 Gubernatorial Elections by Jennifer M
GOVERNORS The National Mood and the Seats in Play: Understanding the 2016 Gubernatorial Elections By Jennifer M. Jensen and Thad Beyle With a national anti-establishment mood and 12 gubernatorial elections—eight in states with a Democrat as sitting governor—the Republicans were optimistic that they would strengthen their hand as they headed into the November elections. Republicans already held 31 governor- ships to the Democrats’ 18—Alaska Gov. Bill Walker is an Independent—and with about half the gubernatorial elections considered competitive, Republicans had the potential to increase their control to 36 governors’ mansions. For their part, Democrats had a realistic chance to convert only a couple of Republican governorships to their party. Given the party’s win-loss potential, Republicans were optimistic, in a good position.

Mark Gordon's State of the State Address to the 66Th Wyoming Legislature March 2, 2021 State Capitol
^*s Sftf*f ?^ i? 0 n& ^1 A vse,<-. '•» is ,fl; m fl3 A ^ 0 "i ^ M ^ >i 3^ Governor Mark Gordon's State of the State Address To the 66th Wyoming Legislature March 2, 2021 State Capitol President Dockstader, Speaker Barlow, Members of the 66th Legislature, fellow Executive Officers, First Lady Jennie, friends, and you, the people of Wyoming; good morning. It is an honor to address you from the fully restored Historic Supreme Court Chamber in our State Capitol. It seems appropriate somehow that I deliver my 2021 State of the State address to you from this room where so much of our history has happened. It was here where our groundbreaking Constitution was ratified. That document begins in the first article by asserting that "All power is inherent in the people and all free governments are founded on their authority and instituted for their peace, safety, and happiness..." Section 2 reads: "In their inherent right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, all members of the human race are equal;" a clear echo of the Declaration of Independence. Then, Section 3 contains the text that put this very room on the National Register of Historic Places, "Since equality in the enjoyment of natural and civil rights is only made sure through political equality, the laws of this state affecting the political rights and privileges of its citizens shall be without distinction of race, color, sex, or any circumstance or condition whatsoever other than individual incompetency, or unworthiness duly ascertained by a court of competent jurisdiction." With these words, Wyoming became the first government to permanently recognize the inherent right of women to vote one hundred thirty one years ago.

New Leadership for Hawai'i and Prospects for Policy Change
New Leadership for Hawai‘i and Prospects for Policy Change Todd L. Belt1 University of Hawai‘i at Hilo Colin D. Moore University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Introduction Hawai‘i’s slow economic recovery continued throughout 2014. Despite the improving eco- nomic news, voters ousted their brash and combative sitting governor Neil Abercrombie in the Democratic primary. The humble, unassuming state Senator David Ige rolled to a general elec- tion victory. The new governor, an electrical engineer by training and a veteran chair of the Sen- ate Ways and Means Committee, looked to bring less in terms of policy change and more in terms of approach to governance. Governor Ige was inaugurated on December 1, 2014, and his biennial budget was released on December 22. The original request reflected a status-quo budget prepared by the outgoing Aber- crombie administration. In late January 2015, Ige’s administration put together an amended budget that slightly increased budgetary requests based on expected revenue increases. Recalling the previous years’ experience of overestimated revenues, the legislature passed a conservative budget largely similar to the governor’s budget request with few alterations or new programs. State of the Economy Through 2015, economic recovery in Hawai‘i remained slow, with GDP growth since 2010 at or a bit below two percent per year (DBEDT 2015a). Unemployment continued its downward trend since its high of 7.1 percent in September of 2009. As of the end of the legislative session in May of 2015, the rate stood at 3.9 percent, still a bit above its historical average during better times (see Figure 1).

Supreme Court Begins Term with Carney V. Adams, a Case on Judicial Balance
Supreme Court Begins Term with Carney v. Adams, a Case on Judicial Balance CLIENT HIGHLIGHTS October 9, 2020 On Monday, October 5, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court began its term with eight justices on the bench, after the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg nearly three weeks ago. By teleconference, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments for Carney v. Adams, a timely case on whether Delaware's law to politically balance its own courts is constitutional. At the center of the dispute are two Delaware laws known as the “bare majority” provision and the “major political party” provision. Under the former, state courts are allowed to have only a bare majority of judges from any one political party. Under the latter, the remaining seats on certain courts must be filled by judges from the other major political party. Currently, appointees affiliated with the Democratic Party hold a bar majority of the courts’ seats, with the balance being held by appointees affiliated with the Republican Party. For two branches of the State’s courts system, only the bare majority requirement applies. Michael McConnell, former Tenth Circuit Judge and now of Wilson Sonsini, argued on behalf of Governor Carney and the state that the major political party provision provides a "valuable backstop" to the bare majority provision. McConnell said that without that backstop, governors could simply nominate someone—whether an “independent” or a member of a political party— like the Green or Libertarian parties—whose views align with those of the governor and his party. That would frustrate Delaware’s goal of creating “stable, balanced, and nonpartisan” courts, which have attracted a majority of major companies to incorporate in the state.
