As someone who has been writing about Nevada corporate law for over two decades, I've been somewhat amused by the recent "discovery" of the Silver State as an alternative to Delaware.  Writing for The Wall Street Journal, Liz Hoffman observed that Nevada is the second most popular state after Delaware for public company incorporations.  This prompted Kevin LaCroix to question: Should Nevada Be the New Preferred Forum? (That’s Right, Nevada.)  He ends his piece with another question:

However, if there is to be a contest, can we at least insist that the focus of the debate be around the long-run best interests of corporations and their shareholders, rather than merely what is most expeditious?

But what's wrong with being expeditious?  To be expeditious means to be speedily performed.  Generally, people expect and enjoy expeditious service.  The word doesn't usually doesn't carry a negative connotation.  Most likely, the intended word was "expedient" which is sometimes used to derogate an action as useful rather than correct.  Both words are derived from the Latin words ex (from) and pes (foot) which are used to form the verb expedire which means to set free or liberate.
