Preemption and Federalism in Corporate Governance: Protecting Shareholder Rights to Vote, Sell, and Sue

Authors

Robert B. Thompson

Abstract

Thompson examines the changed roles of the state and federal governments since the enactment of the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act of 1998. He notes that these changes have created a greater dependence on federal law, a greater emphasis on the voting function of shareholders, and the likelihood of additional argument over traditional corporate issues.
