Larry Cunningham and Henry Paulson March in Time
posted by Dave Hoffman
On the day that Larry Cunningham (B.C. Law to GW Law) posted his article A Prescription to Retire the Rhetoric of “Principles-Based Systems” in Corporate Law, Securities Regulation and Accounting, to SSRN, Henry Paulson, the Secretary of the Treasure, spoke at a conference :
In particular, the Treasury secretary highlighted the U.S.’s regulatory structure, accounting industry and corporate governance structure as areas that may be in need of an overhaul.“We should also consider whether it would be practically possible and beneficial to move toward a more principles-based regulatory system, as we see working in other parts of the world,” Mr. Paulson said in his speech.
Coincidence? Or a data point suggesting that judges’ citing law reviews is a pretty bad measure of their importance. Who needs a federal district court citation, when the Treasury Secretary is (implicitly) “but cf’ing” you?
Paulson aside, Larry’s article is interesting and well-worth the read.
