This volume is tailored for corporate lawyers, academics, regulators, and judges interested in the intricacies of corporate law. Can Delaware Be Dethroned? assembles essays from prominent practitioners and scholars who delve into the factors that have established Delaware as the preeminent jurisdiction for corporate law in the United States. The analyses provided explore not only the historical context of Delaware's legal framework but also the contemporary challenges it faces from competing states and federal regulations.

Delaware serves as the incorporation choice for nearly two-thirds of Fortune 500 companies, along with a significant portion of firms listed on major stock exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. This dominance has rendered Delaware a cornerstone of U.S. corporate law. However, recent discussions have raised concerns about the sustainability of this position, as other states have increasingly sought to attract businesses and the federal government has begun to assert more influence over corporate governance.

The contributors to Can Delaware Be Dethroned? offer a wealth of knowledge and experience, presenting diverse viewpoints that shed light on Delaware's rise and the potential erosion of its competitive edge. Their insights provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the current landscape of corporate law and the implications for Delaware's future.
