ABSTRACT

Lack of time, combined with the jurisdictionally focused demands of most law programs generally dictates that larger questions regarding the history and/or jurisdictional specificity of particular corporate law regimes are rarely explored in any detail in courses devoted to the law of corporations. However, in our current age of borderless transactions, internationalisation of share trading and the almost immediate exposure of jurisdictionally located stock exchanges to international developments, this jurisdictional myopia seems somewhat anachronistic.
