After reading Employment Division v. Smith, we had only one question: “How would I go about exercising that religious something with the peyote?” This guy’s Ali G has the answers.

Georgia is one of the hottest places in the United States to attend law school these days. There are some obvious reasons like great weather and great schools that are drawing in law students from around the world. Also, Georgia is hot because there is a strong job market in Atlanta. It’s just gravy that the cost of living is really low in Georgia as well – well at least when compared with New York, Boston or San Francisco. Here are your choices for law schools in Georgia: Emory Law School, Mercer Law School, John Marshall Law School, Georgia State Law School and the University of Georgia Law School. If you’re attending any of these schools and have an opinion on them please drop in a comment.

Managerial competition promotes the project that has motivated corporate law since Berle and Means – efficient regulation of ownership and control. State competition, by contrast, dvances neither a race to the top nor to the bottom in shareholder-managerial relations. Instead of the vertical allocation of wealth between shareholders and managers, state competition speaks to its horizontal allocation between state and firm. Even as state competition encourages a shift of surplus from state to firm, it is entirely agnostic as to the distribution of that surplus within the firm. Understood as such, the metrics of “efficiency” in corporate governance – and hence the core inquiries of the corporate law literature – must necessarily shift. Prevailing approaches to questions from the potential utility of federal corporate law to the long persistence of state anti-takeover statutes must likewise be reconsidered…
