This paper examines a Small Business Institute (SBI) project from the perspective of the, client, students, and final examination judges. The same client was the subject of two different team projects. One team split into two factions and presented two separate reports, a total of three projects. Students liked the real world experiences and lack of structure, although they felt not all students could handle the lack of structure. The wide background of the judges was an advantage although the scoring system needed to be improved. A clear definition of the scope of work was important. The recommendations of two of the reports were used by the client as they were practical in nature. The student-client interaction was found to be important in one case as the student's enthusiasm and work...
Discussions between instructors and students occur in and outside the classroom. These discussions may involve areas of law, accounting or tax. The student may be seeking the instructor's assistance with a specific personal problem or issue that could be interpreted by the student as professional advice from the instructor rather than academic instruction. It is important for the instructor to be aware of this potential dual role. There is a growing trend towards litigation against college professors.
The attorney-client privilege protects the communications of an attorney giving legal advice to a client by preventing courts or adversaries from compelling their disclosure. The oldest privilege for confidential communications, it has been described as "one of the most revered of common law privileges" and as "a time-honored sanctuary." Yet despite the privilege's long-accepted place in US' common law and statutory traditions, recent developments threaten its continued vitality. There is, however, a threat to the attorney-client privilege that is more dangerous and much less recognized than any coming from within the US. This article will show that unless US courts take action, the US attorney-client privilege for international companies will no longer be defined by US courts and lawma...
SYDNEY, Australia (Thomson Reuters Accelus) - The failure ofhas highlighted loopholes in the Australian regulatory system which allowed the firm to use client money to hedge its own positions with full consent from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). The shortcomings under Australian regulations mean that regulators will be unable to take action if investors' funds have been pooled together and used for hedging purposes.
Internal auditors seem to be in need of the same privilege that protects the confidentiality of communications between attorneys and their clients. This privilege was provided to prevent attorneys and their clients from testifying about confidential information. A similar protective measure could benefit internal auditors since they, like their colleagues in the legal profession, are often called upon to undertake sensitive investigations. They, too, have a duty to keep client communications confidential as required by Sections II and VIII of the Institute of Internal Auditors' 'Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing.' However, since such a privilege is not yet recognized, one way that internal auditors can protect the confidentiality of client communications is to...

Despite being accused by a former procurement officer of trying to improperly influence the D.C. Lottery contract, D.C. Council member Jack Evans soon will conduct oversight hearings on the approval process and a controversial online gambling proposal - while also being compelled to answer questions under oath in a civil lawsuit being defended by the city. In addition, Mr. Evans does outside work for a law firm that has significant client interests in the gambling industry, raising further questions about whether he is the appropriate official to convene the lottery oversight hearings.
This document withdraws a notice of proposed rulemaking, published in the Federal Register on October 27, 2010, that proposed amendments to the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations that would allow brokers, upon the client's consent in a written authorization, to share client information with affiliated entities related to the broker so that these entities may offer non-customs business services to the broker's clients. Although the proposed rule was prepared in response to a request from a member of the broker community seeking to allow brokers to share clients' information for marketing purposes, there was opposition to the proposal from brokers due to the condition on sharing the information that CBP included in the document to protect importers' proprietary information.
