Standing Up for Sarbanes Oxley
It is Larry Ribstein week here at The Daily Caveat. Scroll down a few posts and you'll see a link to details of Ideoblog author, Ribstein's upcoming paper questioning the legitimacy of the ongoing prosecution of class action firm, Milberg Weiss on racketeering charges (strange bedfellows, indeed).

Just by accident (thank you Fintag), today, I ran across an article well worth reading in which author Heidi Moore namechecks Ribstein, an avowed (like really avowed) opponent of Sarbanes Oxley. Moore's article is a detailed defense of the controversial SOX act. Moore endeavors to puncture many of the common criticism of SOX. Does she succeed? Decide for yourself.

The same spirit as The Ethical Corporation comes Ethisphere magazine. Same beat, similar idea. Check out their list of 2007's ranking of the "World's Most Ethical Companies."

LAW.COM Covers the Changing Nature of In-House Counsel
Typical great stuff from Law.com, this one a piece from Susan F. Friedman and the New York Law Journal. Friedman is a senior vice president of the Employed Lawyers Product Practice of Marsh. Not shockingly she recommends good insurance. But good corporate governance, that's important too. Read on.
