Sharing Economy Law Workshop Series: Cooperative Bylaws Under a Microscope

This workshop will closely examine bylaws for two worker-owned cooperatives, including a collectively managed LLC and a California Consumer Cooperative Corporation. We will discuss provisions of the California Corporations Code and IRC Subchapter T, which partially dictate the content of bylaws. We will also discuss ways that general cooperative principles can manifest in bylaws. You will also get a quick "Elinor Ostrom For Lawyers" lesson as Janelle shows you how SELC has begun to incorporate Ostrom's design principles for common pool resource management into co-op bylaws.

This is the fourth workshop in an 11-part series. Attendees are welcome to attend the entire series or to pick and choose from among the workshops.

2 units of MCLE credit will be available, pending approval by the State Bar of California

The workshop will be led by Janelle Orsi, Executive Director of the Sustainable Economies Law Center, author of Practicing Law in the Sharing Economy (ABA Books 2012), and co-author of The Sharing Solution (Nolo 2009).
