It was not a problem we had fully anticipated in 1998, distracted perhaps by the knowledge that the law develops only incrementally...So we did not trouble ourselves with the effect that the evolution of the law, much less the potential for occasional tectonic conceptual shifts, would have upon our original work." But twenty years later, this second edition corrects this misassumption by exploring and explaining this evolution in clearer and more accessible analysis of case law and legal principles. ...Now entering upon its third century, and one of the few remaining courts of equity in the United States, the Delaware Court of Chancery, in the estimation of many qualified observers, is the most broadly influential state tribunal in the nation, not only with respect to matters of internal corporate governance but as to equitable jurisprudence in general." Like the first edition, the second edition of Corporate and Commercial Practice, concentrates the analysis and discussion on those aspects of litigation practice that are peculiar to this special tribunal – the Delaware Court of Chancery.
