Charlotte Newell is an Adjunct Professor of Law at New York University School of Law, where she teaches Corporate M&A Litigation with a focus on Delaware law. Her comprehensive course covers the practical aspects of modern transactional litigation, foundational principles of corporate law, and emerging trends in corporate governance. The course is enriched by her collaboration with prominent legal figures, including Vice Chancellor Lori of the Delaware Court of Chancery, and her experience at top law firms such as Sidley Austin and Robbins Gellar Rudman & Dowd. In this class, students engage in simulated cases as 'lawyers,' arguing before current judges and leading practitioners, which deepens their understanding of contemporary issues in corporate law M&A cases. The curriculum is designed for JD students who have a foundational knowledge of American corporate law, particularly Delaware corporate law, ideally taken concurrently with the Corporations course. LLM students with a comparable background in business organizations are also welcome. Overall, the course emphasizes active participation, with grades reflecting performance in 2,000-word briefs and mock oral arguments.
The Master of Laws (LLM) is a general degree. Applicants from the 'Department of Law' typically enroll in the general LLM or one of the specialized LLM programs.
