Confiding in the Government <b><i>Corporate Fraud Brings New Pressures to Provide Disclosure to the Government in Confidentiality and Non-waiver Agreements</b></i>

Andre G. Castaybert

In the wake of the headline-grabbing corporate fraud scandals starting with Enron, the Justice Department earlier this year issued revised guidelines making a corporation's waiver of the attorney-client and work-product protections a factor in determining whether to charge a corporation for criminal conduct, including fraud. Under these guidelines, prosecutors may "consider" a company's willingness to identify wrongdoers, make witnesses available, disclose the results of its internal investigation and waive the attorney-client and work-product protections.

Children As Pawns: Who Determines Custody?

Lawrence Jay Braunstein

Attorneys and courts struggle with ways to determine which parent would be the better primary caretaker. If only there were a test ... Because there is not such a determining factor, the legal system has come up with many tests - and people to evaluate them.
