Delaware Law Weekly‘s first article, published Nov. 10, 1998, analyzed current Court of Chancery Chancellor Leo E. Strine Jr.’s qualifications as a potential vice chancellor on the court he now leads. Exactly 15 years later, DLW published an article analyzing Strine’s qualifications as a potential Delaware Supreme Court chief justice.
Those two articles are bookends to how little things have changed in the Delaware legal community over the past 15 years. The state’s reputation as the preeminent corporate law venue remains intact despite challenges from other jurisdictions, prison overcrowding and improved sentencing remain a key concern among the legislature despite renewed efforts to address the problem, and the influx of out-of-state firms seeking to set up offices in America’s corporate capital continues.
