S. Inside The Sausage Grinder: Iconic Delaware Cases And Their Legacies

This seminar investigates iconic Delaware decisions using materials from the Delaware Corporate Law Oral History Project. Those materials comprise briefs, case documents, and video interviews. Using those materials, seminar participants will delve into the backstory of each case, situate the decision within its historical context, and consider why and how the court reached the conclusion it did. Seminar participants then will take the case forward by examining what practical lessons litigators drew from the case and how the case became integrated into transactional practice. The goal is to separate the case as it was litigated from what the case becomes as a precedent.
