Honest Services Fraud

Only one line long, 18 U.S.C. 1346 provides that a federal scheme to defraud includes "a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services."

Since then, federal prosecutors have seized on Section 1346 as their omnibus statute for federal charges.

Not Far From Heaven

Not many big-firm partners would ditch their lucrative practice to devote themselves to a spiritual calling -- much less one that's headed by a self-described reformed Nixon "hatchet man."

Wal-Mart's Revolving Door

It could be the biggest employment discrimination case ever. Betty Dukes, et al. v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., alleges that the nation's largest private employer denies equal pay and promotions to women.
