Corporate Liability, Risk Shifting, And The Paradox Of Compliance, William S. Laufer
Corporate Liability, Risk Shifting, And The Paradox Of Compliance, William S. Laufer
Vanderbilt Law Review
The evolution of corporate criminal law is explained by the shifting risks of liability and loss between corporations and their agents in accommodating the illogic of vicarious liability. A vivid example of the effects of this risk shifting is seen with the recent emergence of the good citizen corporation movement. This movement en- courages prosecutors with vast discretion to leverage indictments and convictions of subordinate agents, resort to civil and administrative actions against large and medium-sized corporations in place of criminal indictments, compromise agent indemnification, and enforce corporate self-regulation through elaborate plea agreements.

International Refugee Law: The Michigan Guidelines On The Internal Protection Alternative, James C. Hathaway

The Suitability Rule, Investor Diversification, And Using Spread To Measure Risk, Richard A. Booth Marbury Research Professor Of Law
Faculty Scholarship
