Cognitive Authority, Credibility and Legal InformationJim Kalbach
The document discusses two resources about cognitive authority and credibility of legal information online. Robert Berring argues that the legal information world is undergoing a paradigm shift as traditional sources of authority like Shepard's are losing their monopoly with the rise of free legal data online. BJ Fogg explains that credibility is perceived, not inherent, and is made up of trustworthiness, expertise, and reputation. Fogg outlines factors that can increase a website's presumed, surface, reputed, and earned credibility. The summary concludes that Berring would agree we must focus on increasing a product's surface and earned credibility through quality content and usability as traditional forms of authority change.

Specific learning objectives include:
o Explore the top internal and external data sources to interrogate for corruption schemes.
o Be able to identify the key red flags leading to corrupt behavior and how they present themselves in data.
o Learn to bolster any compliance program with data-driven prediction and decision making analytics.
o Complete a who, what, when, and where set of analytics to hone in on the specific corruption and bribery within your business processes.
o Understand the benefits of integrating and managing a continuous review of data sets to identify corrupt behavior.

Uniformity of standards is also emphasized as important for multi-jurisdictional practice.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
