Associate Clinical Professor of Law; Director of the Equitable Entrepreneurship & Innovation Law Clinic

Anne Choike (https://www.law.msu.edu/faculty_staff/profile.php?prof=1163), associate clinical professor of law at Michigan State University, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast (https://andrewkjennings.com/podcast) to discuss her article Local Firm Governance (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2821234).


Programming Note: Since the original recording of this episode, Professor Choike has retitled the article Local Firm Governance. The forthcoming version of the article no longer uses the terminology “local corporate law,” as heard in the recording. Instead, the new version uses the terminology “local firm governance.” The substance of this episode is not materially affected by the updated terminology.
