Show WHY LAW DAY? ' Law Day USA is set aside on May first each year by joint resolution of Congress and Presidential proclamation as "a special day of celebration by the American people in appreciation of their liberties" and as an occasion for "rededication to the ideals of equality and justice under law." The annual nationwide event is not a "lawyers day," but rather an occasion for honoring the place of law in our lives, for learning how the law and our legal system operates, and for examining how the law can better serve our people and nation.

Suppose a political activist buys one share of stock in a corporation that makes guns. His purpose is to gain access to a list of shareholders. so he can arouse their opposition to the company's products. Would the company have to let him see the books? Most courts 'faced with this question have said no. True, every stockholder is a of the corporation. However, say these courts, the relationship is strictly economic, not political.

The activist shareholder is new but the problem is old: how open should a corporations books be? Clearly, there has to be some sort of limitation on access. As one judge explained, in barring a stockholder who was just curious: Considering the huge size of many modehi corporations 'and the complicated nature of their to permit their bookkeeping, thousands of stockholders to roam at will through their records would render impossible not only any attempt to keep their records efficiently but the proper carrying on of their businesses. On the other hand, a stockholder with a legitimate economic motive generally cannot- be prevented from . seeing the books merely because the management doesn't happen to like him. One stockholder was refused access to his companys books because he was considered a troublemaker. He was indeed a troublemaker. But the trouble he wanted to make was getting rid of tjie management, which he thought was doing a bad job of running the business. In these circumstances, a court ordered the company to open the books for his inspection. The court said that for a disgruntled investor, throwing the management out was a natural and proper objective. 019 Rf 1 149 The duty to serve on juries if called.
