Meanwhile the media is going into containment and divide and ignore mode at a fast pace... Ian The Globalization of Corporate and Securities Law in the Twenty-First Century Corporations have become dominant players in the global economy. This fact makes it imperative that legal scholars examine how major corporations are managed and financed and how such corporations interact with the nation states in which the corporations conduct operations. The 2002 Annual McGeorge International Law Symposium will explore this topic on 2/23 with distinguished legal experts. The Editor of corpGov.Net will also be there. This conference is open to the public with a $150 charge for MCLE credit for non-alumni attorneys. For more information on the program, call: (916) 739-7141.
