  • Miriam G. Cederbaum.2.2
    IN MEMORIAM: JUDGE MIRIAM GOLDMAN CEDARBAUM Sonia Sotomayor * Miriam Cedarbaum had been a judge on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York for six years when I joined that court in 1992. I count myself as lucky for so many reasons, but getting to serve alongside and learn from Judge Cedarbaum falls high on that list. Judge Cedarbaum mentored me in my first few years on the bench and served as a steady source of strength and wisdom in the years after. This relationship began when she stopped by my office during my first week on the bench, a tradition she followed with every new judge on her court. It continued afterwards because our offices were on the same floor of the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, just around the corner, and we kept the same arrangement when renovations moved us to the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse. I learned much from Judge Cedarbaum. In this space, I want to record those lessons so that other judges, those not fortunate enough to be paid a visit by her during their first week on the bench, can learn from her still. Be careful. A district court judge labors in the boiler room of our judicial system. Alarms constantly sound, work never stops, and thanks rarely materialize. While toiling away, a district court judge may be tempted to cut corners, to make the job just a little easier. Not Judge Cedarbaum. Read any one of Judge Cedarbaum’s decisions and her attention to the facts and mastery of the legal issues leap off the page.

  • [Baker] 2017 Cheating 9. DOES ETHICAL CONDUCT PAY?.Pdf
    Wallace R. Baker CHEATING THE ORIGIN, NATURE, IMPORTANCE AND IMPROVEMENT OF BUSINESS AND OTHER ETHICS WALLACE R. BAKER ©2017 Wallace R. Baker March 2017 Wallace R. Baker Professor Frank's solution is to tax harmful behavior not to prohibit it. Those that can afford the tax will finance the government but the harmful activity by others less wealthy will be discouraged by taxation. 9. DOES ETHICAL CONDUCT PAY? This question is difficult to answer because it is not easy to prove one way or the other since unethical conduct is usually hidden. However, in major business enterprises there are few open advocates for unethical dealing because it adversely affects the business's reputation, weakens employee morale and can create large potential risks for the business if the activity is not only unethical but illegal. There have been many examples in the press where unethical conduct has been extremely costly to countries, companies and many individuals. Recent events in the U.S. relating to Enron and World Com are examples where the real financial condition of the business was not apparent to investors because of lack of transparency and questionable accounting practices which resulted in overstating earnings. This situation with Enron in the U.S. arose recently after development of new trading markets with high risks. Significant speculation in a more competitive stock market with vanishing margins in some companies pushed business executives into unrealistic and dishonest accounting to maintain earnings, which, when discovered, provoked a steep downturn in the market for its stock and substantial losses for shareholders, including numerous pension funds.
