Bio:
Mark Loewenstein joined the faculty of Colorado Law School in 1979, leaving a business law practice in a Chicago law firm. His research interests center on business associations, agency law and securities law, with a particular interest in corporate governance, and he has had articles published in a variety of law reviews, including the Duke Law Journal, the Southern California Law Review, and the Georgetown Law Journal. During the 1990-91 academic year, he was a Fulbright scholar and visiting professor of law at Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan, and presented papers at various Japanese law schools on topics ranging from corporate law to U.S. constitutional law. In 1999, Professor Loewenstein was a visiting professor of law at the University of Michigan Law School. During his career, Professor Loewenstein has actively served both the Law School and the State of Colorado. In addition to serving on numerous committees, he was associate dean for academic affairs for nine years and the associate dean for research for four years. From 1995 to 2000, he served as a member of the state's Securities Board, which oversees the Colorado Commissioner of Securities. He has also been an active member of the Colorado Bar Association's Corporate Law Revision Committee, including the subcommittee that drafted the 1994 Colorado Business Corporation Act. He co-authored the comments to that Act. From 1999 to 2005 served as a delegate to the ABA House of Delegates and is an active member of the ABA’s business law committee.
