Executive Bonus Issue Analysis (April 29, 2009)
In the heat of the current financial crisis there has been a lot of discussion about bonuses paid to the executives and employees within the financial service sector. AIG has especially come under scrutiny for the bonuses paid to their employees.
To delve into this topic and get to the legal research issues there is an excellent Emerging Issue Analysis titled Murray on Contract Law Theory and AIG Executive Bonuses, in which Dr. John Murray, author of Corbin on Contracts and the upcoming Corbin on Contracts Desk Edition, through his analysis of issues seeks to separate the emotion of public outcry from the actual legal issues of this topic. It is good to get this type of analysis on so timely an issue. The outline feature within the document facilitates navigating to sections of the analysis such as summary, body, about the author and related links, which in this case takes you directly to the appropriate section within Corbin on Contracts.
Having this type of subject covered within the Emerging Issues Analysis delivers concise, timely and pertinent information that is of strong value to the legal research process.
