Trial Reveals Pitfalls of Whistleblower Claims From In-House Corporate LawyersLinks to an external site.
1. Sanford Wadler, a corporate attorney, blew the whistle on his company for bribery. Discuss the opposing positions of Bio-Rad and the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding his use of attorney-client privileged information in his action. Feel free to address any potential justifications for blowing the whistle that you learned about in the textbook.
2. Your company does business in a foreign land, and it becomes apparent that, under their societal norms, bribery is the way to get ahead. Does that make it permissible? You may draw on the textbook and bring in any legislation that would apply.
