The Rise of the Statutory Business Trust

This Thursday and Friday, Harvard Law Professor Robert Sitkoff, recently named one of Lawyers Weekly‘s up and coming lawyers of 2007, will travel to Delaware for a stay as a visiting scholar at Widener University School of Law.  The visit will feature a presentation of his article Agency Costs, Charitable Trusts, and Corporate Control: Evidence from Hershey’s Kiss-Off, co-authored with Jonathan Klick.  (Professor Sitkoff described that article in this post.) 

On Friday at 2:00 PM, Professor Sitkoff will deliver a talk entitled The Rise of the Statutory Business Trust as part of Widener’s visiting scholar lecture series.  Vice Chancellor Strine will also offer commentary on that subject following Professor Sitkoff’s lecture. Details on the talk, and Professor Sitkoff’s visit, are available here.
