Is There A Role For Lawyers In Preventing Future Enrons?, Kenneth M. Rosen, Jill E. Fisch

Articles

Following the collapse of the Enron Corporation, the ethical obligations of corporate attorneys have received increased scrutiny.

The recent case of Anastasoff v. United States, 223 F.3d 898 (8th Cir. 2000), vacated as moot 235 F.3d 1054 (8th Cir. 2000), has rekindled this debate, giving it a new constitutional dimension, and placing it squarely within the context of judicial accountability and the appropriate separation of powers among our branches of …
