Strine retired on Oct. 31, 2019 from the helm of Delaware’s influential and closely followed appellate court, long the final word on disputes over corporation law and the duties of companies to stockholders and investors.
During his time as Chief Justice beginning in 2014 and, previously, as Delaware’s Chancellor beginning in 2011 and as Vice Chancellor in 1998, Strine became a landmark figure. He authored opinions on corporate law conduct while also guiding the wider state court system into greater involvement in the needs of Delaware’s disadvantaged communities and those negotiating family law. Among his many findings was a decision in 2016 that overturned the state’s death penalty because of its failure to require a unanimous jury conviction. Strine’s long career on the bench was marked in part by opinions that mapped out the freedoms and limits of corporate and alternative entity conduct and contracts.
