Corporations are abstract persons. What legal rights have corporations gained and how? What rights should corporations have so that they can best serve the needs of democratic societies? How do we ensure that corporations do not expand their rights excessively or abuse them?

Professor Susanna Kim Ripken of Chapman University’s Dale E. Fowler School of Law moderates a conversation with Elizabeth Pollman of the University of Pennsylvania Carey School of Law and Adam Winkler of the UCLA School of Law. The panelists are joined by additional discussants Stanford Law School Dean Jenny Martinez of Stanford Law School, journalist Martin Wolf of the Financial Times, Professor Jennifer Taub of the Western New England School of Law, and Professor Luigi Zingales of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
