Although on paper Delaware Court of Chancery chancellor nominee Andre G. Bouchard may have a great deal more in common with his predecessor, current Delaware Supreme Court Chief Justice Leo E. Strine Jr., many in the Delaware corporate law community choose to compare him to one of the Chancery Court’s longest-tenured leaders, former Chancellor William B. Chandler III.
Both Bouchard and Strine worked together as associates at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom after graduating from Ivy League law schools. Bouchard attended Harvard Law School, while Strine is a graduate of University of Pennsylvania Law School. In addition, Bouchard, 53, and Strine, 49, are of the same generation.
