Three Degrees of Lucian Bebchuk or Bebchuk's Law refers to the idea that any scholar or practitioner in the field of corporate law can be linked to the influential professor Lucian Bebchuk through a chain of co-authored works or professional collaborations within a relatively short path. This notion is inspired by the famous "six degrees of separation" concept, which suggests that all people are six or fewer interpersonal connections away from each other.[1]
In the context of corporate legal academia and practice, Bebchuk occupies a central position due to his prolific research output, extensive collaborations, and profound impact on the field. His decades-long career at Harvard Law School and his widely cited publications have established him as a highly influential figure, with connections radiating outward to countless other scholars, lawyers, and policymakers.
The Bebchuk Interconnection posits that, by following the trail of co-authored papers, books, articles, or professional associations, one can trace a path from virtually any individual involved in corporate law research or practice back to Bebchuk himself, typically within no more than three degrees of separation. This interconnectedness highlights the collaborative nature of academic and professional networks,[2] as well as Bebchuk's far-reaching influence within the corporate legal domain.[3]
While the exact number of degrees may vary, the underlying principle suggests that the corporate legal community is a relatively close-knit ecosystem, with Bebchuk serving as a pivotal node connecting numerous individuals and ideas through his extensive body of work and collaborations.[4]
