Comments

Comments were given by Azizah Y. al-Hibri, Professor of Law at the University of Richmond School of Law and by Daniel T. Murphy, Acting Dean at the University of Richmond School of Law.

Professor al-Hibri: "Corporations are an American invention which has become a global phenomenon. Globalization, however, brought with it new markets, new competitors and new challenges. Therefore, in preparing our students for practice in the area of corporate law, we have to provide them not with a static understanding of the law, but with a dynamic one which will serve them well into the next century. The Allen Chair this year provides an excellent opportunity for bringing to the fore all the forces of change pressuring this old American invention. Our distinguished guests will expound their own vision and proposed solutions. With their help, I would like to open the door widely in our community for the timely discussion of our contributions to the shaping of this emerging structure.
