Butler. This course covers the period from Cicero's fateful decision to return to Rome (August, 44) up to the meeting of the Senate that declared Antony an outlaw (Jan 1, 43). We will read the Ciceronian texts of this very hot autumn more or less in real time (i.e., on the dates of composition or delivery), including the first 3 Philippics, the De officiis, and a number of letters. Among our goals will be to consider Cicero's simultaneous efforts at self-presentation in 3 genres (oratorical, philosophical, epistolary) and to learn the tricks and rhythms of his "final style."

The course covers the basic obligations of corporate directors and managers under state corporate law and the federal securities laws. It also considers the rights and responsibilites of other major stake holders in the governance of public corporations, including shareholders, creditors/bondholders, employees (including corporate executives), investment bankers, corporate lawyers, and accountants.
