We interview William Clayton on the SEC's private funds rulemaking and related litigation.  Professor Clayton lays out his views on agency conflicts in the high-end private funds securities contracting market, discusses the Fifth Circuit's recent decision in National Association of Private Fund Managers v. SEC (5th Cir. 2024), and offers some thoughts looking forward beyond the presidential election. A bit about William Clayton: William W. Clayton is Professor of Law at The J. Reuben Clark Law School of Brigham Young University, where he co-directs the Global Business Law Program and teaches courses on contracts, business organizations, and corporate finance.  He is a leading researcher on private markets and private equity funds contracting and governance, whose work has been cited extensively in agency rulemaking and litigation amicus briefs, as well as published in other journals such as the Yale Journal on Regulation and Vanderbilt Law Review.  Before joining the BYU Law faculty, Professor Clayton worked as a corporate lawyer at Wachtell-Lipton, and as a private funds lawyer at Simpson-Thacher in New York, and was Executive Director of the Yale Law School center for the study of Corporate Law.  Professor Clayton holds a J.D. from Yale Law School, and an M.B.A. and B.A. from Stanford University.  We were pleased to publish Professor Clayton's article High-End Securities Regulation: Reflections on the SEC's 2022-23 Private Funds Rulemaking in the Harvard Business Law Review last fall.  Now, given subsequent litigation and regulatory updates including National Association of Private Fund Managers v. SEC (5th Cir. 2024), we are thrilled to welcome him to the Harvard Business Law Review Podcast to discuss current events. 

Kevin Worthen was the 13th president of Brigham Young University and is a “BYU guy through and through” as he says. Kevin earned both his bachelor's and law degree from BYU, graduating summa cum laude. After graduating from law school, Kevin clerked for the U.S. Supreme Court Justice Byron White, and later spent a year at the University of Chile as a Fullbright Scholar. Kevin also served as Dean of the BYU Law school and as Advancement Vice President of BYU before serving as President. Most recently, Kevin spent a year at Yale Law School as a distinguished visiting professor. In this episode we discuss the following: As Ken Burns said, “Leadership is humility and generosity squared.” Leadership is admitting we don't know everything and then giving credit to others for their success. When Kevin played basketball in college, his coaches would use every second of the timeouts to coach the players. But as the years passed, he noticed that coaches started using the timeouts to counsel with the other coaches. There's power in admitting you don't see everything and in getting advice from others. As the President of BYU, Kevin learned to say “yes” as often as he could, because there are so many times as a leader that you have to say “no.” It's important to be generous and kind when saying “no,” especially because saying “no” typically doesn't persuade anyone. I love two of the quotes Kevin shared: “Anger never persuaded anyone” and “The law of love is undefeated.”   Follow Me: X: https://twitter.com/nate_meikle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natemeikle/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nate_meikle/

Thanks!As the new academic year gets underway, I've been having a law-school module of sorts here on the Original Jurisdiction podcast. After interviewing Professor Amy Chua of Yale and Professor Brian Fitzpatrick of Vanderbilt about current issues facing legal academia, I thought it might be useful to get a deanly—actually, the proper word is “decanal”—perspective on these topics. My latest guest is Professor D. Gordon Smith, who recently completed his service as dean of the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University, aka BYU Law. I've admired his work for years, dating back to when we both started legal blogs in 2004—Underneath Their Robes for me, and The Conglomerate for him—and I was pleased to see him become dean of BYU Law in 2016. During his seven years as dean, he was an innovator in legal education—and this was reflected in BYU Law's dramatic rise in the U.S. News rankings, from #46 when he took over to #22 today.In our conversation, Professor Smith discussed BYU Law's unique mission as a school “[f]ounded, supported, and guided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” as well as changes he instituted that contributed to its climb in the rankings. But we also covered broader topics like the bar exam and lawyer licensure, professional development, and our nation's access-to-justice crisis—so this episode will interest not just legal academics, but anyone who cares about law and the legal profession. I'm grateful to Professor Smith for his time and insight, as well as his contributions to both legal education and the profession more generally.Show Notes:* D.

Two years after D. Gordon Smith was appointed dean of the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University in 2016, he told an audience of law school advisors, “I want BYU to be known as, if not the most innovative law school in the country, then one of the most innovative law schools in the country.” Now, Smith has announced he is stepping down as dean at the end of this semester, after having been the second-longest serving dean in the school's history.  So how did he do in pursuit of that goal? During his tenure, he drove a number of innovations around innovation and technology, including the launch of LawX, a legal design lab committed to tackling access-to-justice issues with solutions that address pressing legal problems such as debt collection, eviction and asylum. He also served on two Utah Supreme Court task forces that led to the creation of the Utah Sandbox.  Also during his tenure as dean, he more than tripled the amount of scholarships available to students, saw the law school's ranking rise from 46th to 23rd, pioneered a law and corpus linguistics program, and launched a global leadership program.  Recently, LawNext host Bob Ambrogi was at the school's Provo, Utah, campus, and sat down with Smith in his office to reflect on his nearly seven years as dean.    Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

Summary:Divorce in itself is hard. When you're trying to divide a business as part of the divorce, the possibility for complication and messiness goes way up. Today's guest is an expert in corporate law and business valuation, and we're discussing our top “what not to do's” when it comes to setting up a business, valuing a business, and dividing up a business when you get divorced.Today we're talking about getting divorced when you have a business, whether you own or co-own, and what happens with the business. Today's guest is a personal friend who happens to be an expert on this subject.Curtis Anderson is a professor at the BYU Law School. He joined the BYU Law faculty in 2015. Prior to that he was an Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Match Group, which owns and operates the world's largest online dating platforms including match.com, Tinder, meetic, okcupid and over 40 other brands.

He earned an undergraduate and law degree from BYU.Most people don't pay an attorney to set up their business. It is usually more expensive to clean it up later if you grow. It's not that hard to do it right the first time, even if you do it yourself. Founders need to consider these 3 things:Capitalization- someone has to put in the initial capital. Need it documented who owns what and how muchDecision making- how are decisions made? Is it majority or unanimous?Exit strategies- who and when do people have the right to leave, and what are the terms?Is your business considered a marital-owned business or not? You need to know your state laws, because the assets of the business may be considered joint, even if your spouse isn't officially documented as a business owner. There is a difference between asset and income stream. These are divided differently. Make sure your attorney understands and has experience in dividing businesses in divorce.How do you determine value in business? NOT tax returns. Financial statements are a better look.Biggest mistakes in dividing business in divorce:not putting in protections ahead of time when people are less emotional and biased.do a prenup agreement if you have business before marriagedo a postnup agreement if you're building a business during the marriagewrite up business organization documents and include any spouse of any partners to protect business assets getting too emotional or vindictive about dividing the business and forking over tons of money to attorneys when that money could be for you and your ex and your kids.

Gordon Smith has just been appointed to a second five-year term as dean of the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University. Two years after becoming dean in 2016, he told an audience of law school advisors, “I want BYU to be known as, if not the most innovative law school in the country, then one of the most innovative law schools in the country.” As we recounted when Smith was first on LawNext in 2019, he has worked hard to make that vision a reality, launching the nationally recognized LawX legal design lab, developing courses to teach non-traditional skills such as leadership, storytelling, and business ethics, launching clinical programs around unique skills such as entrepreneurship and conflict resolution; and spearheading development of the Law and Corpus Linguistics project. But much has changed in law and legal education since 2019, due predominantly to the pandemic and its impact on how law is taught, how lawyers are licensed, and how legal services are delivered. So as Smith begins his second term as dean, we check in on how the pandemic has impacted the school’s teaching of innovation and entrepreneurship, and ask Smith about his plans for the next five years and his thoughts on the future of legal education and licensing.  Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

At BYU Law in Provo, Utah, a first-of-its-kind technology platform is enabling legal researchers to explore the meanings of legal words and phrases by examining the contexts in which they historically were used. The Law and Corpus Linguistics platform enables users to examine large collections of historical texts to help determine, for example, what early drafters meant by a phrase such as “bear arms.”  In this episode of LawNext, my guest is David Armond, head of infrastructure and technology and senior law librarian at BYU Law, who was instrumental in helping create and launch the platform. We discuss this emerging field of corpus linguistics and how it is being used by lawyers, judges and legal scholars.  The BYU Law collection is now home to seven collections of historical text, or corpora, including founding-era American English (1760-1799), early modern English (1475-1800), Supreme Court opinions, U.S. caselaw, records of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, and more.  As it happened, host Bob Ambrogi interviewed Armond live at BYU Law on the very day that the school decided to close down due to the coronavirus crisis. Before discussing their scheduled topic of corpus linguistics, Armond and Ambrogi had a conversation about how a law school prepares to shut down and go online. That conversation was posted as LawNext Episode 66: How One Law School Prepared for Coronavirus Shutdown.    NEW: Comment on this show: Record a voice comment on your mobile phone and send it to info@lawnext.com.

On March 4, 2019, the Supreme Court decided Rimini Street Inc v. Oracle USA Inc., a case involving the scope of a federal district court’s ability to award “full costs” to a party in a copyright dispute according to 28 U. S. C. §§ 1821 and 1920.Oracle sued Rimini Street for copyright infringement in federal district court and won a multimillion dollar jury award. After judgment, the District Court ordered Rimini Street to pay Oracle $12.8 million for litigation expenses such as expert witnesses, e-discovery, and jury consulting. On appeal the U.S. Court of Appeals for the NInth Circuit rejected Rimini’s challenge to this award of costs. Although some of the expenses did not fit within the categories of costs authorized by the general federal statute applicable to such awards--28 U. S. C. §§ 1821 and 1920--the Ninth Circuit relied on language in the Copyright Act at 17 U. S. C. § 505, which gives federal district courts discretion to award “full costs” to a party in copyright litigation. The Supreme Court thereafter granted certiorari to resolve a split among the federal circuit courts of appeals on this issue: whether the term “full costs” in § 505 authorizes awards of expenses other than those costs identified in §§ 1821 and 1920. In an unanimous decision, delivered by Justice Kavanaugh, the Court held that a federal district court’s discretion to award “full costs” to a party in copyright litigation pursuant to 17 U. S. C. §505 is limited to the six categories specified in the general costs statute codified at 28 U. S. C. §§1821 and 1920. To discuss the case, we have James Heilpern, Law and Linguistics Fellow at BYU Law.

Gordon Smith, dean of the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University, once said: “I want BYU to be known as, if not the most innovative law school in the country, then one of the most innovative law schools in the country.” Since becoming dean in 2016, Smith has worked tirelessly to make that happen, launching the nationally recognized LawX legal design lab, developing courses to teach non-traditional skills such as leadership, storytelling, and business ethics, launching clinical programs around unique skills such as entrepreneurship and conflict resolution; and spearheading development of the Law and Corpus Linguistics project. On this episode of LawNext, Smith sits down in his Provo, Utah, office with host Bob Ambrogi for a conversation about what it means for a law school to innovate and why it matters to the students, the school and the community at large.
