Reviews

Ronald F. MacIsaac:
This collection of advisory essays addressed in a useable way the need for accountability in the boardroom. Coming as it does on the heels of exposed CEO avarice and the accompanying criminal and civil litigation it is an educational read for trial and corporate lawyers.

Jim Stanford, Canadian Auto Workers:
Informative and thorough.
