Conscripting Attorneys To Battle Corporate Fraud Without Shields Or Armor? Reconsidering Retaliatory Discharge In Light Of Sarbanes-Oxley, Kim T. Vu
Michigan Law Review
This Note advocates that federal courts should allow attorneys to bring retaliatory discharge claims under SOX. Traditional rationales prohibiting the claims of retaliatory discharge by attorneys do not apply in the context of Sarbanes-Oxley. This Note contends that the Department of Labor and the federal courts should interpret the whistleblower provisions of § 806 as protecting attorneys who report under § 307.

The purpose of these provisions is to discourage corrupt, though not necessarily illegal, labor management activities by disclosing them for public scrutiny. Section 203(b) of the Act, which is aimed at the "labor relations consultant," states that "every person" who agrees with an employer to "directly or indirectly" (1) "persuade employees" regarding their right to organize and bargain collectively or (2) inform the employer of certain union-employee activities must file …
