Since the early 1980s, the body of corporate law has favored the resolution of conflict of interest transactions through the use of committees of the board of directors commonly referred to as "special " (or "independent " or "conflicts ") committees. In Special Committees: Law & Practice (2014 Edition), by Gregory Varallo, Srinivas Rahu and Michael Allen, the authors have provided readers with a definitive reference on the legal aspects of the special committee, examining its use as a tool to resolve conflicts in transactions, to investigate potential corporate wrongdoing, and to assert the board's control over pending derivative litigation. The 2014 Edition has been completely revised with new case law and analysis pertaining to special committees, including the Delaware Supreme Court's recent affirmation of the business judgment rule standard of review in Kahn v. M&F Worldwide.
