Should we preserve corporate criminal liability?

Eighty percent of white collar criminal defense attorneys favor preserving corporate criminal liability, according to a survey released today by Corporate Crime Reporter.

But a majority of those who would preserve it would strictly limit its application.

The survey question – Should corporate criminal liability be eliminated? – was e-mailed to partners at the nation’s top 100 law firms who practice in the field of white collar criminal defense.

Of the 157 attorneys who responded, 126 (80 percent) said no, corporate criminal liability should not be eliminated – while only 31 (20 percent) said yes, they would eliminate it totally.

But of those who answered “no, it should not be eliminated” – the vast majority said that corporate criminal liability should be restricted or narrowed.

ideas.

I do not remember where I read that but have a faint memory of that statement.
