UCLA Law Professor Stephen Bainbridge Selected as the William D. Warren Professor of Law.
LOS ANGELES -- UCLA School of Law has chosen Professor Stephen Bainbridge as the William D. Warren Professor of Law. The William D. Warren Endowed Chair in Law was created through the kindness of many donors, including several UCLA Law alumni, in honor and recognition of former UCLA School of Law Dean William Warren, whose academic expertise was in the areas of commercial, consumer, real estate and bankruptcy law.
"We're enormously pleased to have a scholar of Stephen Bainbridge's intellectual caliber fill this chair, which honors one of UCLA Law's most beloved deans, William Warren," said UCLA Law Dean Michael Schill. "Professor Bainbridge is not only one of the country's most productive scholars, but also one of its most influential."
Professor Bainbridge is a prolific scholar, whose work covers a variety of subjects, with a strong emphasis on the law and economics of public corporations. He has written more than 50 law review articles, which have appeared in such leading journals as Virginia Law Review, Northwestern University Law Review and Stanford Law Review.
Recently, Professor Bainbridge has focused his attention on his research regarding a director primacy model of corporate governance. Among the articles he has written are "Director Primacy and Shareholder Disempowerment" (Harvard Law Review, Vol. 119, 2006), "The Case for Limited Shareholder Voting Rights" (UCLA Law Review, Vol. 53, 2006), and "Abolishing LLC Veil Piercing" (University of Illinois Law Review, 2005).
Professor Bainbridge currently serves on the editorial advisory board of the Journal of Markets and Morality and the executive committee of the Federalist Society's Corporations, Securities & Antitrust Practice Group.
In addition to his scholarly works, Professor Bainbridge maintains a weblog at http://ProfessorBainbridge.com, which has become one of the most widely read political and legal weblogs on the Internet.
