The essay, which is available at White Collar Crime Prof Blog, cites our own Brad Wendel and has some thoughts on recent cases where lawyers were indicted (and one was convicted) for legal advice. The names of the matters may be familiar to our readers -- Lauren Stevens (vindicated), Paul Daugerdas (convicted), the Kansas City health care planning lawyers (vindicated), the "nurses on strike" case, etc.
