by Andrew Koppelman
The legal challenge to the Affordable Care Act, and the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the law, is quite possibly the most momentous Supreme Court case on the issue of federal power in our era.

To take just one example, this can be critical for a shareholder who tries to sell his shares, but finds that (with the authority of the articles) the directors refuse to register the transfer because they do not approve of the proposed transferee. This Report provides a full and essential understanding. Although it is wr...
