  • Bargaining Inequality -(6.6.2021)
    Draft – please do not circulate or cite without permission of the author BARGAINING INEQUALITY: EMPLOYEE GOLDEN HANDCUFFS AND ASYMMETRIC INFORMATION Anat Alon-Beck* Assistant Professor Case Western Reserve University School of Law ABSTRACT The problem of inaccurate unicorn firm valuation is very severe and well documented in the finance literature. Unicorn employees cannot value their equity grants, including stock, because they do not have access to fair market valuation or financial statements and, in many cases, are denied access to such reports, even if they ask for them. Startup founders, investors, and their lawyers have systematically abused equity award information asymmetry to their benefit. This Article sheds light on the latest practice that compels employees to waive their inspection rights as stockholders under Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) Section 220 as a condition to receiving stock options from the company. DGCL Section 220 provides protection to stockholders by allowing them to exercise their ownership rights and inspect the books and records of a Delaware corporation. In Delaware, this ownership right cannot be eliminated or limited by a provision in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws. But there is ambiguity in the case law with regards to the ability to eliminate this right via private ordering. Unicorn employees—who are not yet stockholders— are now regularly coerced to waive this inspection right by entering into a contract with the corporation, in the form of a stock option agreement. As a result, their employers, who are unicorn fiduciaries, get the benefit of operating without oversigh from minority common stockholders - their employees.

VINYL Def Leppard were the definitive hard rock band of the ‘80s. There were groups that rocked harder, but few captured the spirit of the times quite as well. Emerging in the late ‘70s as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Def Leppard gained a following outside of that scene by toning down their heavy riffs and emphasizing melody. In The Many Faces of Def Leppard, we are going to dig deep into the lesser known work of their members, collaborations, side projects and of course, their hit-filled catalog.

  • Yale Law School Commencement Remarks May 22, 2006 Harold
    Yale Law School Commencement Remarks May 22, 2006 Harold Hongju Koh Dean, Yale Law School Distinguished Guests, Faculty Colleagues, Families, Friends, and Members of the Graduating Class: Welcome, all of you, to the Yale Law School’s 2006 Commencement Exercises. We gather here this afternoon to celebrate an institution, to graduate a class, and to renew a solemn commitment. The institution is the Yale Law School, the class is the remarkable Class of 2006, the commitment is to a tradition of humanity and excellence in the study of law that dates back several centuries. Although this is Yale University’s 305th Graduation, we cannot say with precision exactly what number Yale Law School graduation we celebrate today. But the graduating class that will march before you in a few moments represents at least the 192nd group of law students to receive their legal education at Yale. If you are keeping track, that was three years before Chief Justice Isaac Parker of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts founded a law school north of here at Harvard in 1817, and 32 years before a law school was founded at Princeton, which then closed just six years later. The lineal ancestor of the Yale Law School was the Litchfield Law School, founded some 50 miles northwest of here, which between 1780 and 1830, trained about 1000 lawyers for the new American republic. Around 1800, more than 200 years ago, a Yale college graduate named Seth Staples began taking on apprentices here in his New Haven office, including two students, Samuel Hitchcock and David Daggett, with whom he began the New Haven law school that eventually became the law school of Yale University.

Some of it is, as expected, glitch bound and I can only thank you all for your loyalty and perseverance. The good news is that we are getting there and of course, it is a huge undertaking and a huge set of changes for everyone. We are printing a useful guide for the most frequently asked questions and we have made it into a four page pullout. We hope this will assist you in getting used to our most comprehensive site yet. Elsewhere, I am personally thrilled to offer you an in-depth profile of one our most loved personalities. Liz Clarke is for me, and many others, the embodiment of what Line dance should be about.

  • DECEPTION Joseph Herrin (05-26-2014)
    DECEPTION Joseph Herrin (05-26-2014) (Click on image to view larger) I invite the reader to consider carefully what is written in the following words of the apostle Paul. This servant of Yahshua was testifying of what would occur at the end of the age preceding the appearing of Christ. He was speaking of the hour in which we now live. Speaking prophetically, the apostle declared that one of the major characteristics of this hour would be a pervasive deception that would cause the church at large to fall away from the truth. II Thessalonians 2:1-12 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Yahshua Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the apostasy (the falling away from truth) comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

  • Drag Queens and Farting Preachers: American Televangelism, Participatory Media, and Unfaithful Fandoms
    Drag Queens and Farting Preachers: American Televangelism, Participatory Media, and Unfaithful Fandoms by Denis J. Bekkering A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 © Denis J. Bekkering 2015 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Studies of religion and fandom have generally considered sincere devotion a fundamental point of contact between the two cultural phenomena, an assumption not reflected in fan studies proper. This dissertation aims to expand the scope of research on religion and fandom by offering cultural histories of “unfaithful” fan followings of three controversial American televangelists – Robert Tilton, Tammy Faye Bakker/Messner, and Jim Bakker – dating from the 1980s to 2012, and consisting of individuals amused by, rather than religiously affiliated with, their chosen television preachers. It is argued that through their ironic, parodic, and satirical play with celebrity preachers widely believed to be religious fakes, these unfaithful fans have engaged in religious work related to personal and public negotiations of authentic Christianity. Additionally, it is demonstrated that through their activities, and in particular through their media practices, these fans have impacted the brands and mainstream representations of certain televangelists, and have provoked ministry responses including dismissal, accommodation, and counteraction. iii Acknowledgements Family comes first. My wife Erica is the main reason that this project has been completed.
