Official Source Note

The University of Chicago Law School lists Fischel as Lee and Brena Freeman Professor Emeritus of Law and Business. His official profile identifies corporations, corporate finance, and the regulation of financial markets as his chief interests.

Fischel is included because his work with Frank Easterbrook remains a major statement of the economic structure of corporate law and its relation to markets, contracts, and finance.
