The 15-member committee, which included five judges from different Hawaii courts,1 wished to explore topics such as: * Whether existing disqualification rules and procedures adequately serve the interests of litigants and the public.2 * How frequently judges are removed from cases or motions. * What proportion of removals results from disqualification motions, and what proportion is initiated by the judges. * The most frequent reasons for judicial recusal or disqualification. * Whether existing disqualification standards provide adequate guidance to judges. * Whether judges routinely apply personal standards or practices, in addition to formal disqualification rules. * Whether filing a disqualification motion is likely to have a negative effect on parties or their lawyers. * Whether jud...
... judges' personal relationships and biases affect judicial decisions. * Whether attorneys and litigaants seek disqualification for inappropriate reasons. The committee quickly discovered that inf...

This paper empirically investigates whether executive compensation has any impact on the IPO pricing. Corporate governance issues including the CEO's compensation are critical to the firm at the time of the IPO as many firms establish a formal separation of ownership and control for the first time. Underwriters, financial analysts, and potential investors are involved in pricing of an IPO. Greater levels of ownership by the firm's executives and insiders decrease the underwriters' risk as the new IPO needs price support to be fully placed in the initial offering. Both of these outcomes may decrease underwriters' profits. Initial public offerings present a unique opportunity to study the value that investors assign to executive compensation, because these companies do not have a history ...

Dear Amy: I have read letters in your column regarding children sleeping with parents.
My boyfriend has a son in fourth grade who has been sleeping in the same bed with his mother (my boyfriend's ex) for years, and I think this is extremely inappropriate and unhealthy. I have concerns that this will permanently and adversely affect his sexual development. My boyfriend doesn't like this either, but for various reasons (because he doesn't want to have problems) he has not intervened.

Recently I wrote about the pros and cons of social networking Web sites. Rare is the high school student who isn't using one to chat with friends, make new acquaintances or express himself creatively by uploading music or photos. The downside of some of these sites is that college representatives might learn about an applicant's inappropriate behavior by viewing photos or other postings that could negatively affect their admission decisions.
However, there is a new networking Web site that high school students should check out and bookmark. Admish.com connects college- bound students, admission officers, high school counselors, parents and teachers. It was conceived by Brad Milne, Breanden Beneschott and Sandy Gibson.

Employees use computer resources at work for personal activities and the implementation of countermeasures has not reduced this behavior. In this study we investigate the extent to which an employee's ethical orientation and supervisory role have an impact on their perceptions regarding these behaviors. We find that employees assess acceptability using a utilitarian orientation. The more money and time involved in an activity, the more employees perceive them to be unacceptable. We also find that supervisors view these activities as less acceptable than do non-supervisor employees. Demographics have little to do with explaining perceptions. Research and managerial implications are discussed.
... issue is to understand the factors that affect this employee behavior and also their perceptions ... Danziger (2008) it was found that inappropriate behavior was more frequent for higher-status emplo...

I guess the best, most appropriate thing to do is shake one's head. So many things these days are said in code. A public official offers his resignation in order "to spend more time with my family." Translation: The grand jury is empaneled, indictments expected. A company announces the resignation of a top executive "in order to pursue other business opportunities." Translation: He got sacked. An elected official issues the statement, "I didn't realize anyone would consider what I did inappropriate." Translation: Oops. Consider the last one. What qualifies as inappropriate? And does it take a rocket scientist to figure it out? Here's the scenario: An elected official sits on a body that determines zoning and development. The elected official has a business. He solicits and receives a co...
