Regulators may be trying to demonstrate to other nations that the U.S. is vigorously enforcing its anti-bribery law after getting 33 other countries to agree to common standards in 1997, said Robert A. Prentice, a professor of business law at the University of Texas in Austin.So I guess a lot of Halliburton executives are headed to jail?
"We're saying, 'We're really working hard here, we'd like you to get in line here too,'" Prentice said. "It doesn't hurt to make examples out of Halliburton and Exxon."
Boulder County prosecutor Mary Keenan decided against assault charges but has said she believes the athletics program entices recruits with sex and alcoholPerhaps John's experience in that case prepared him for his presentation at this upcoming Employment Law Conference.
Fowler said his client would remain silent on even the most mundane questions because a response might open the door to more serious questions.
"She was usurping authority that was never given to her in the first place," said Kevin Fowler, a Topeka lawyer representing Indianapolis-based Anthem Insurance Cos.Anyone ever say that about the HJ?
She's on the left.Visits can help personify some of the material law students study, said Carolyn Porto Johnson, an adjunct lecturer in political science.This April, the University marked her 15 years of service.
"They benefit by getting to see the person who writes the opinions that they’ll be studying," she said, "and they’ll be studying them a lot."
All litigators with appeals in federal courts now face an uncertainty that should not, and need not, exist. The trap threatens uninformed litigators with malpractice.Notice the dirty word?
Diana Carlin found that people were both attracted to and repulsed by conflict.Hmmmm.
They didn't listen to learn. They viewed debates like hometown football games, hoping to see their team run up the score.
Though more than one-third of viewers said that the debates were important in helping them decide how to vote, most used the debate to confirm an existing belief, Carlin said. Only 8 percent of the electorate in 1992 said the presidential debates changed their vote.
"What we found is that the debates reinforce," Carlin said. "People want to have their minds made up."
discussed why we should defend Israel, the barriers we might encounter and the rhetoric and different types of communications skills needed to defend Israel to all types of audiences.Robin has also worked as a political consultant for Representative Dennis Moore (D-KS). In 1999 and 2002, Moore visited Robin's KU classes. The stories about Moore's visits don't seem to disclose the connection.
Columbia University Middle East Studies Professor Gary Sick, a former Iran analyst at the National Security Council, says the new Cabinet represents a changing of the guard in Iran to the generation that fought the Iran-Iraq war.GS was the Iran specialist on the National Security Council during the Ford, Carter, and Reagan administrations.
"I think, we are going to see a much more self-confident behavior among these people, at least in the beginning," he said. "They may discover that confidence is not justified. But I think, they are coming into it, not as a youthful group looking up to their elders, but as a group that has fought the battles of Iran over the past 20 years, and they are, in their own view, now ready for power."
Gary Sick, the National Security Council expert on the Middle East at the time, soberly reports in October Surprise of an alleged clandestine deal between the Iranian mullahs and Ronald Reagan's campaign operatives. In return for holding the fifty-two Americans until after the election, the Republicans promised to pay back Iran through surreptitious arms deliveries via Israel. The book's implicit message is that without the foul play, the Reagan-Bush era may never have occurred. If the allegations are true, the 1980 election would be, in Sick's words, the first "political coup" (p.12) in American history.The book came out in 1991.
[S}oftware executive Katrina Roche...twice took generous options in lieu of large salaries.Ouch!
Ms. Roche was hired for the first of those jobs, at Baan Co., Europe's second-largest software company, in 1998. Her new boss figured her options eventually would be worth at least $7.7 million. But the day she started work, the company announced it would miss earnings -- and the share price began a downward spiral. "There was no hope I was going to see money from those options," she says.
After several years at Baan, she joined i2 Technologies Inc. in Dallas as chief marketing officer, again receiving a large option grant. But the stock started downward soon after she joined, and Ms. Roche, a single mother of an infant son, realized that her salary alone would be insufficient to provide for her child, who today is 19 months old. She recently left i2 but hasn't forsaken options altogether. She is now president and chief operating officer of Nonstop Solutions, a closely held company with no current plans to go public, where she received options to buy a certain share in the company over time.
The amount of friendly disagreements about politics is keeping democracy strong in the U.S., concludes a book co-authored by political scientist Paul Johnson of the University of Kansas, Manhattan.In Kansas, of course, Paul is considered a "reliable source."
Eric Christensen unearthed Grandma Millie."Wow, these guys are really crooked bastards," said Snohomish lawyer Eric Christensen.
The soft-spoken, mild-mannered lawyer for a publicly owned utility in northwest Washington, Christensen also dug up “Burn, baby, burn.” And “He steals money from California to the tune of about a million (a day).” And “I got three more hours to congest.” And a host of other explosive and incriminating discussions from traders at the energy giant Enron.
"Eric is pretty much an unsung, quiet guy who's willing to work very hard. He works in the weeds and digs the dirt out," his boss said. "If we hadn't done this stuff, we basically would have had to pay Enron, and they would have gotten away with that fraud."In 1999, Eric publicly blasted a mining company's "consigliere" for advocating "environmentally destructive corporate welfare."
...the greatest health costs of requiring greenhouse gas emission reductions undoubtedly would result from the economic costs of such a policy. As one recent study noted, "any public policy that leads to declining disposable income, such as environmental regulations, is likely to have significant adverse health effects" from injury and disease. The Kyoto Protocol, by itself, is expected to cost between $7 billion and $1,830 billion, according to recent estimates. Using a conservative estimate that regulatory costs of $10 million induce one premature mortality shows that climate policies will result in an estimated 700 to 183,000 additional deaths each year.Frank is concerned about the tradeoffs people will make: "Money spent on increased energy costs is unavailable for the purchase of smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, bicycle helmets, and other product that protect health. Greater wealth also increases access to health care and education."
I have completed a preliminary analysis of the 2004 term. There appears to be some result from Rehnquist's absence on outcomes. For example, in the cases over which Rehnquist presided, he had a 10% dissent rate. In the cases over which Stevens presided, Rehnquist had a 30% dissent rate. While this is a fairly small sample, and the changed probability of a Stevens dissent is much less, this is suggestive that Rehnquist's absence may have had an effect.Frank is a frequent commenter on Volokh.
I went by their appearance at oral argument with help from some of your readers and found 40 cases for Stevens and 30 for Rehnquist, just using cases with full argument and full opinion.
