  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Joint Statement on the Rise in Anti-Asian Hate
    March 26, 2021 Governors Issue Joint Statement on the Rise in Anti-Asian Hate “As governors, we take care in protecting the people of our states and territories. The tragic loss of loved ones in Atlanta that left eight people dead, including six Asian Americans, is part of a long and painful litany of acts of hate against Asian Americans across the country.” “Today, and every day, we stand in solidarity, in support, and in shared resolve with the Asian American community. Hate will not divide our states, territories, and communities. We condemn all expressions of racism, xenophobia, scapegoating, and anti-Asian sentiment.” “From the Chinese Exclusion Act to the incarceration of Japanese Americans in World War II to the mistreatment of Muslims and Sikhs after 9/11, this year is part of a history of racism against the Asian American community.” “In the past year, the use of anti-Asian rhetoric during the pandemic has resulted in Asian Americans being harassed, assaulted, and scapegoated for the COVID-19 pandemic. The Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University in San Bernardino released ndings in early March that showed hate crimes against Asian-Americans spiked 149% from 2019 to 2020, even while hate crimes fell overall.” “What is happening to Asian Americans is simply un-American. We condemn racism, violence, and hatred against our AAPI communities, and we must do more to protect, lift up, and support the Asian American community.” Signed, ___________________________________ ____________________________________

    Delaware Governor John Carney Biography Born in Wilmington and raised in Claymont, Governor John Carney has been working for the Delaware people for more than 30 years. John took office as Delaware’s 74th Governor in January 2017 focused on making Delaware's economy more competitive, preparing Delaware's children to succeed, and building a long-term sustainable financial plan from the State of Delaware. Working with Delawareans across the state, and with members of the General Assembly, he has made progress on each of those priorities. John has directed new resources to high-needs schools, partnered with the private sector to drive new job creation, and taken steps to lower healthcare costs for Delaware families, businesses, and taxpayers. From 2011 to 2017, Governor Carney served as Delaware’s lone member of the U.S. House of Representatives. During his three terms in Congress, Governor Carney worked with members of both parties to find solutions to the most important challenges facing the nation. He supported the revitalization of American manufacturing through the “Make It In America” agenda. He was a lead sponsor of the centerpiece of the Jumpstart our Businesses (JOBS) Act that made it easier for small- and medium-sized businesses to grow and create jobs. Governor Carney also introduced legislation that was signed into law to prevent critical prescription drug shortages, and he was the lead sponsor on a successful bill to help veterans more easily enter the job market. Prior to his time in Congress, Governor Carney served two terms as Delaware’s Lieutenant Governor. Between 2001 and 2009, Governor Carney developed the Lt.

She expressed an interest in hearing about the legislation, noting that the committees and councils on fishing and recreation could be political organizations. Senator Hocker explained that the Governor’s office, specifically Lydia Massey, had suggested the legislation’s proposed changes. Sen. Hocker noted that the adjustments would make the council’s bylaws more clear and update the code to reflect the current reality.
