Federal Criminal Discovery Reform: A Legislative Approach, Bruce A. Green
Federal Criminal Discovery Reform: A Legislative Approach, Bruce A. Green
Faculty Scholarship
In general, discovery is far narrower in federal criminal cases than in federal civil litigation. Under current federal law, prosecutors do not have to disclose evidence and information that is favorable to the defense for its use in investigating, advising the defendant, plea negotiations or trial, unless the favorable evidence falls within one of several narrow categories or might be probative enough to produce an acquittal. Proponents of broader federal criminal discovery law express concern both that disclosure is too limited to ensure fair outcomes and provide a fair process in criminal cases and that prosecutors do not universally comply …

A Fiduciary Theory Of Judging, Ethan J. Leib, David L. Ponet, Michael Serota
A Fiduciary Theory Of Judging, Ethan J. Leib, David L. Ponet, Michael Serota
Faculty Scholarship
For centuries, legal theorists and political philosophers have unsuccessfully sought a unified theory of judging able to account for the diverse, and oftentimes conflicting, responsibilities judges possess.

The paper first explores the routinely overlooked, yet deeply embedded historical provenance of our judges-as-fiduciaries framework in American political thought and in the framing of the U.S. Constitution. It then explains why a fiduciary theory of judging offers important insights into what it means to be …

Risk-Shifting Through Issuer Liability And Corporate Monitoring, Martin Gelter
Risk-Shifting Through Issuer Liability And Corporate Monitoring, Martin Gelter
Faculty Scholarship
This article explores how issuer liability re-allocates fraud risk and how risk allocation may reduce the incidence of fraud. In the US, the apparent absence of individual liability of officeholders and insufficient monitoring by insurers under-mine the potential deterrent effect of securities litigation. The underlying reasons why both mechanisms remain ineffective are collective action problems under the prevailing dispersed ownership structure, which eliminates the incentives to moni-tor set by issuer liability. This article suggests that issuer liability could potentially have a stronger deterrent effect when it shifts risk to individuals or entities holding a larger financial stake. Thus, it would …
