  • John Ohnesorge gave the presentation “‘Legal Origins’ and the Tasks of Corporate Law in Economic Development” at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law's Globalization, Law & Justice Workshop Series on November 12, 2009. Ohnesorge argued that the World Bank's prescriptions for corporate law reform in developing countries are seriously flawed due to an over-reliance on what is known as the “legal origins” approach to corporate law. 
  • Victoria Nourse, Burrus-Bascom Professor of Law, will offer courses in Constitutional History and Legislation at the UW Law School in the fall 2010 semester.  
  • Alta Charo delivered the annual Daniel W. Foster, M.D. Lecture in Medical Ethics at the University of Texas-Southwestern Medical Center in November.
