Recently, the California Assembly passed a law that imposes penalties on publicly traded corporations headquartered in California if their boards have fewer than a mandated number of women directors. That provision was clearly passed to address a gender imbalance on many corporate boards. But is the statute constitutional? And what effect is it likely to have on actual board behavior or business in California more generally? Join the Constitutional Law Center for a discussion of this timely topic with Professor Joe Grundfest, director of the Rock Center for Corporate Governance.
