Features: The Principles of Corporate Governance does not cover the entire body of corporate law but is limited to several selected topics: the objectives and conduct of business corporations, corporate structure, the duty of due care, the duty of fair dealing, the role of directors and shareholders in control and takeover transactions, and related remedies. The name of the project reflects its limited scope of work. The project is named "Principles of Corporate Governance" partly to convey that this work does not cover the entirety of corporate law. To some extent, the title may seem overly simple, as almost every rule of corporate law is directly or indirectly related to corporate governance. However, as planned, the Principles of Corporate Governance only discusses issues that the American Law Institute considers to constitute the core of corporate governance.
