This article examines the federal government's growing use of 18 USC § 1346 to prosecute public company executives for breaching their fiduciary duties. Section 1346 is a controversial but under-examined statute making it a felony to engage in a scheme "to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services." Although enacted by Congress over twenty years ago, the Supreme Court repeatedly declined to review the statute, until now.

In Delaware, where the majority of US corporations are incorporated, the hallmark fiduciary duties are the duties of care and loyalty. But if Delaware corporate law is considered the national corporate law, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is perhaps best described as its smash sequel. While competent, good, or best corporate practices vary from circumstance, from company to company...

Maloy analyzes proximate cause as the last line of defense in civil malpractice cases. He seeks not to show lawyers how to be negligent and get away with it, but how to analyze a proper defense to a client's pique about some injury that had not one whit to do with his lawyer's conduct.
