Delaware Corporation Law Research

This is a guide to researching the law governing Delaware corporations and other business entities.

Introduction

According to the Delaware Division of Corporations more than 1,000,000 business entities have their legal home in Delaware, including 64% of Fortune 500 companies. This is a guide to researching the law that governs those corporations and other business entities.

The links to treatises in this guide often take you to the Widener Law Library catalog. They should also be available in any large law library or you can order them from the publisher. I also link to many commercial legal online services such as Lexis, Westlaw, and Wolters Kluwers VitalLaw. These services are available to Widener students and faculty.
