Document Summary

To deterrence (convince someone to not commit the crime in the first place) Criminal law focuses on moral base, setting the rules for what we say is expectable and not expectable. Who do we decide is going to be a criminal; and who did we decide is not. Distinguishing is completely separate from non-criminals is actually as clear as we would like it to be in law. Power related; criminal law is intimately connected, and who has the power to fight the criminal law and who doesn"t have the power end up being targeted by the criminal law. Criminal law is protection (bread and butter of criminal law); protection is key. You need to have your own rights limited so that we can protect society. (ex: you don"t get to punch anyone and they don"t get to punch you. ) White collar crimes re-thinks who are criminals and their actions.

Can you answered this question with two paragraphs. Thank you.

1. âLawyers are ordinarily prohibited from disclosing confidential client information. This attorney-client privilege is designed to permit candor between a client and their counsel. There are exceptions, however, such as when a lawyer is advised or believes a client is about to commit a crime. Still, in the corporate setting, it is rare for a lawyer to call out a client corporation. What responsibility should a corporation's lawyer have to blow-the-whistle when corporations are behaving illegally? What about the behavior of a specific officer or director? Does the fact that corporations really are not people, but are comprised of people with certain duties and roles, make any difference?

2. It is a well-established principle that corporate officers and directors have a fiduciary duty to the corporation and it's shareholders, even when it is contrary to the interests of other stakeholders (including creditors and other individuals or businesses the corporation regularly deals with). What obligations, if any, should corporate directors and officers have to third parties? What should directors and officers do when the interests of the corporation, shareholders, and creditors diverge (such as an insolvency situation)?

3. The questions of whether and who should be responsible for crimes committed by corporations are complicated and controversial. Corporate wrongdoers can be held criminally accountable under federal law and receive substantial penalties, but "white-collar" prosecutions are rare. Should corporate wrongdoers face criminal sanctions? Should the federal government vigorously enforce such laws? What effectives, if any, might this have on business in the future?
