James has written or co-authored several articles about Delaware corporate law, including “Is There Always Money In The Banana Stand? The Importance Of Fee Awards To Vindicating Shareholder Voting Rights” and “A Critical Analysis Of ‘Fair Price’ In Entire Fairness Law In Delaware: From Theory To Praxis” (co-authors: Jeroen Van Kwawegen, Andrew Blumberg, & Gregory V.
