Marc Steinberg, professor of law at SMU, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his article To Call a Donkey a Racehorse — The Fiduciary Duty Misnomer in Corporate and Securities Law. In this article Steinberg considers the rhetoric and reality of corporate fiduciary duty and concludes that directors, officers, and controlling shareholders are not fiduciaries strictly speaking but rather should be understood as having corporate-law-specific duties.
