Franklin A. Gevurtz Distinguished Professor and Scholar University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law Sacramento, California

Education:

• B.S., University of California, Los Angeles
• J.D., University of California, Berkeley

Bio:

Professor Gevurtz is – in the words of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – a “leading commentator” on corporate law. Among Professor Gevurtz’ widely cited scholarship is the treatise, CORPORATION LAW, published by Thomson-West as part of its “Hornbook Series” familiar to law students, lawyers and judges nationwide. Professor Gevurtz is also well-known for authoring the casebook, BUSINESS PLANNING (now in its third edition) – which is by far and away the dominant book used to teach this course in law schools throughout the United States. Most recently, Professor Gevurtz authored the book, GLOBAL ISSUES IN CORPORATE LAW; part of a revolutionary series of books for which Professor Gevurtz also serves as series editor and which are designed to facilitate the introduction of international and comparative law issues in core law school courses. Professor Gevurtz also has written numerous law review articles on topics including corporate law, the law of other business organizations, and the antitrust laws. Prior to joining the Pacific McGeorge faculty in 1982, Professor Gevurtz practiced with the law firm of O’Melveny and Myers in Los Angeles. He has been a visiting professor at the law schools of the University of California, Berkeley (Boalt Hall), and the University of California, Davis, and has taught or lectured in Athens, London, Nancy (France), Salzburg and Seoul. In 2006, the University Distinguished Faculty Award was conferred on Professor Gevertz.
