Reuters Interview with Vice Chancellor Laster

Reuters sat down with the newest Vice Chancellor.  His thoughts on the financial crisis:

"With the crash in the banking system still ringing loud in everyone's ears," said Laster. "If there was ever a moment where a politically sensitive Delaware judiciary might have reached out to change Delaware law, that was it. Oversight law is not going to change for a moment-specific reason."

...

"I don't think it's fair to say about the financial crisis that directors weren't trying to do a good job. Directors were trying to do a good job," he said.

"Now it is always nice after the fact to try to find someone else to hold the bag, but I think it critically important we not to judge these things in hindsight. The core question for us is always: At the time the decision was made, what were the directors thinking?"
