. Visiting Professor, University of Iowa College of Law; Associate Professor, Roger
Williams University School of Law. I would like to thank Professors Iris Bohnet, Kent
Greenfield, and John Humbach for their valuable suggestions. Professor Richard Hasen
and Loyola Law School of Los Angeles were kind enough to allow me to present an earlier
draft of this article at a faculty workshop in October 2001. My student research assistants
Irina Uromova, Nedzida Salihovic, Alexandra Cohen, and Susan Schenck also provided
valuable help. Additionally, I thank the University of California, Davis, School of Law and
Professor Tom Joo for inviting me to attend the Law Review's Symposium on Corporate
Governance. Also, I would like to thank Sharon Smith at U.C. Davis Law Review for her
editorial assistance with the Article.
