Delaware Court of Chancery
The Delaware Court of Chancery is a specialized court in the state of Delaware that primarily handles cases related to corporate law, trusts, and estates. It is known for its expertise in resolving business disputes, particularly those involving corporate governance and mergers and acquisitions.
Established in 1792, the court operates without juries, allowing judges to make decisions based on legal principles and precedents. Its rulings are influential, often guiding corporate practices not just in Delaware, but across the United States, due to the state's status as a hub for business incorporation.
