Tittle: Aspen Treatise for Business Organization

J. Mark Ramseyer

1. Complete: the “How to Complete” assignments for Week 7’s Live Session.

2. Attend: Week 7’s Live Session.

3. Remember: In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to address a common thread woven throughout the entire course on business organizations. Whether a relationship is one of simple agency, a partnership arrangement, or the more complex relationships among owners, directors and managers in corporations, there exist, to one degree or another, fiduciary responsibilities that parties owe to each other. The existence and enforcement of fiduciary duties are necessary for the efficient and effective operation of businesses. Fiduciary duties might be appropriately described as the lubricants that make a business run within an ethical framework.

4. Prepare: an original essay that describes and analyzes fiduciary duties in agency, partnership, and corporation law. This should not be a sterile recitation of the law; rather, this essay should addresses the following questions:

• How do fiduciary duties operate similarly, and how do they differ, among the different organizational forms?
• What are the seminal cases that defined/addressed/interpreted fiduciary duties in each organizational form? Do you agree with the courts reasoning and decisions in these cases? Why or why not?
• As for this particular question (above), you should include discussion of/reference to at least two cases applicable to each of agency, partnership, and corporate areas of law. Do not simply recite facts; rather, use cases to illustrate how the law is developed/applied, and also feel free to set forth your disagreement with a courts views.
• With respect to corporations, frame your discussion within the development of the business judgment rule. Should courts play a larger role in evaluating actions of a board of directors, or should they defer to boards absent an obvious conflict of interest or clear abuse of discretion? Does knowledge by a board that all of their actions are subject to judicial review after the fact make them more effective, or does it inhibit risk taking that they deem to be potentially beneficial to the value of owners stock?

The assignment is to write a personal statement for my law school applications. I want my personal statement to do two things: (1) get admissions officers to like me, and me specifically, and (2) SHOW admissions officers that I have the skills and traits of a lawyer. I just need something compelling because I cannot think of anything to write about. Feel free to draw from personal experiences. For time frame purposes, I graduated from uga with a bachelor’s in political science in May 2024.

The following discussion comes from your Week 6 readings. Outside research to address these issues is required. Use the online library for additional sources of information and research. In addition, I recommend utilizing the Legal Studies Program Guide. Using the Model Penal Code, answer the following: 1) Mickey needed money to pay her rent. She is behind 3 months in rent and fears being evicted. She decides to rob Bank of America. Mickey asks her roommate Carol to help her. They agree to split the money 55% Mickey and 45% for Carol. This was based on the fact that Carol was going to only purchase the items necessary to commit the crime, like the gun and ski mask, and agreed to be the lookout at the bank. Carol purchased a gun and ski mask early in the week. Midweek, she stopped into the local pub for a few drinks. She began telling the bartender about her plan to get money. The bartender said nothing. Later that week, before the robbery was to take place, Mickey and Carol went to get their nails done. While at the nail salon, they were arrested. As the prosecutor, with what crimes can you charge Mickey and Carol? Do their actions constitute the crime of attempt? Discuss why or why not. Use legal reasoning to support your response. 2) Andrea and Tony have been unhappily married for years. Andrea wanted a divorce, but Tony feared Andrea would get too much of his money and the marital home. He decided it was best to kill her. He decided to poison her. He went to Walgreens and inquired of the pharmacist about needing a sleep aid for his insomnia. The pharmacist gave him a bottle of sleeping pills. Tony believed if he gave Andrea several pills in her tea, she would die peacefully in her sleep. She drank the tea, but nothing happened but for a little drowsiness. Tony is charged with attempted murder. Will Tony be found guilty of attempted murder? Discuss why or why not. Use legal reasoning to support your response.
