Arrington described how a Florida citrus farmer kept an unprofitable branch of the family business running just to keep his family employed and support the local community. When this practice was challenged by minority shareholders, a Florida court ruled that it was legal under Florida\u2019s constituency.<\/p>\n<p>Arrington said that she is fascinated by the topic of how the law interacts with business. She plans to work in the Tampa Bay region after graduating in May.<\/p>\n<p>Wynn Willard, entering his third year of law school at Stetson and himself a former CEO, wrote about the regulation of executive compensation. His paper and a companion piece were accepted by the <em>Duquesne Business Law Review<\/em> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cornellhrreview.org\/throwing-out-the-baby-and-weighing-the-bathwater-the-nonsense-of-executive-compensation-oversight\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Cornell HR Review<\/em><\/a>, a journal of the Industrial and Labor Relations School.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15223\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15223\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/WynnWillard1_CROP.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/WynnWillard1_CROP-300x297.jpg\" alt=\"Wynn Willard\" width=\"300\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15223\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wynn Willard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Willard argues that criticism of compensation should first be measured against the value CEOs create for shareholders. He shared the example of Steve Jobs, whose leadership propelled Apple\u2019s shareholder value hundreds of billions of dollars since 2003. In the same time frame, Willard explained that Motorola and Nokia executives achieved minimal and negative returns, respectively, for their shareholders. Willard\u2019s paper cites multiple examples of government regulation of executive compensation producing unintended consequences and great costs. He advocates a cessation of federal regulation in favor of existing state laws and market forces.<\/p>\n<p>Willard worked as a marketing executive at companies including Procter &amp; Gamble, Cadbury Beverages, and Hershey Foods. He served as CEO of Nabisco Canada and New World Pasta Company. He has also taught courses on management at the University of South Florida.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have always been interested in law and thought my corporate background could be a good combination with it,\u201d said Willard, who plans to graduate from Stetson in December.<\/p>\n<p>He said that the seminar paper gave him an opportunity to explore a subject with which he has firsthand experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to have a passion for what you\u2019re doing,\u201d Willard said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two students in professor Clark Furlow\u2019s Advanced Corporate Law seminar at Stetson University have recently written papers accepted for publication in respected journals.
