Fishman on Nonprofit Corporate Law Reform

The Development of Nonprofit Corporation Law and an Agenda for Reform, by James Fishman, Pace University - School of Law, was recently posted on SSRN.  Here is the abstract:

This article examines the development of the law of "charitable corporations" and attempts to explain why the charitable corporation rather than the charitable trust became the predominant organizational form for charitable and benevolent activities in the United States. It then discusses some of the inconsistencies of non-profit corporation law and provides an agenda for future reform.
