James McRitchie at Corpgov.net recently made reference to a forthcoming law review article by J.W. Verret at George Mason University School of Law.  Professor Verret posits in various strategems for discouraging shareholder nominations.  He writes from a Delaware perspective (he was a law clerk to Vice Chancellor John W. Noble) and as someone who has worked under the guidance of Harvard Law School Professor Lucian A. Bebchuk.  Although the ambit of this blog is for the most part limited to California, Professor Verret's article should be of great interest to lawyers in the bigger and wider world of public company corporate governance.  It will be interesting to see how many of Professor Verret's ideas are adopted and survive judicial scrutiny.
