Today, a California resident can incorporate her shipping business in Delaware, register her ships in Panama, hire her employees from Hong Kong, place her earnings in an asset-protection trust formed in the Cayman Islands, and enter into a same-sex marriage in Massachusetts or Canada--all the while enjoying the California sunshine and potentially avoiding many facets of the state's laws. In this book, Erin O'Hara and Larry E. Ribstein explore a new perspective on law, viewing it as a product for which people and firms can shop, regardless of geographic borders. The authors consider the structure and operation of the market this creates, the economic, legal, and political forces influencing it, and the arguments for and against a robust market for law. Through jurisdictional competition, law markets promise to improve our laws and, by establishing certainty, streamline the operation of the legal system. But the law market also limits governments' ability to enforce regulations and protect citizens from harmful activities. Given this tradeoff, O'Hara and Ribstein argue that simple contractual choice-of-law rules can help maximize the benefits of the law market while tempering its social costs. They extend their insights to a wide variety of legal problems, including corporate governance, securities, franchise, trust, property, marriage, living will, surrogacy, and general contract regulations. The Law Market is a wide-ranging and novel analysis for all lawyers, policymakers, legislators, and businesses who need to understand the changing role of law in an increasingly mobile world.

The Rise of the Uncorporation covers the history, law, and finance of unincorporated firms. These "uncorporations" including general and limited partnerships and limited liability companies, are now the dominant business form of non-publicly-traded firms. Through private equity and publicly traded partnerships, uncorporations have emerged as a significant force in the governance of a wide range of the biggest firms. This is the first general theoretical and practical overview of alternatives to incorporation, including ancillary concepts connected with the evolution of these firms, and analysis of likely future trends in business organization. The Rise of the Uncorporation provides a clear and easily understandable theoretical and practical background to this important subject.

The registered limited liability partnership provisions, first instituted in Texas in 1991, have now become law in all U.S. jurisdictions. Bromberg (law, Southern Methodist U.) and Ribstein (law, U. of Illinois College of Law) explain these regulations, as well as the Revised Uniform Partnership Act, adopted in some 30 states, and the Uniform Limited Partnership Act 2001, both promulgated by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Law. The laws are considered in the context of existing case and statutory law of partnership and its tax and regulatory environment. They also explore significant variations in a number of states as well as the official comments appended to limited liability partnership amendments of the 1990s.

The rapid proliferation of unincorporated business forms has moved beyond the scope of traditional Corporations and Agency/Partnership courses and textbooks, which leaves students without the necessary knowledge to competently advise business clients. Unincorporated Business Entities was designed to fill that widening gap in the existing curriculum. Unincorporated Business Entities is designed for a three-semester-hour course and has the following features:
<li>Like its predecessors, the new edition of Unincorporated Business Entities takes a business planning approach to teaching the modern law of partnerships and other unincorporated firms.</li>
<li>The material on LLCs has largely been rewritten, reflecting the rapid development in this form over the last several years.</li>
<li>Each chapter contains new and updated notes and problems that provide a "hands-on" approach to the consequences of, and planning and drafting for, issues in agency, partnership, limited partnerships, LLCs, and limited liability partnerships.</li>
<li>The materials on partners' financial rights now include a short primer on financial accounting.</li>

The Corporation and the Constitution

Much of America's business is conducted through corporations, and corporate wealth is duly subject to governmental regulation. It follows that constitutional protection of corporations' business activities and ability to participate in political debate is crucial to American productivity. A problem arises, however, because the courts typically place a low value on the business activities of corporations. The authors seek to correct traditional misconceptions about the corporate form of enterprise. Legal and constitutional treatment of the corporation, they argue, is out of touch with economic and business reality. They articulate a contractual theory of the corporation that is based on the modern economics of the firm and then pragmatically apply this theory to the interpretation of constitutional doctrine. The Corporation and the Constitution is a significant contribution to modern constitutional and corporate scholarship. It offers a coherent theory of applying the Constitution to the corporation, and it forces scholars to appreciate the developments that have taken place totally outside the realm of traditional scholarly discourse on the Constitution. This shows that in formulating constitutional rules it is at least as important to understand the real-world context of particular problems to which the Constitution is applied as it is to develop a global framework of constitutional analysis.
