The new ABA release “Business Bribes: Corporate Corruption and the Courts” details two dozen of the most important and interesting U.S. judicial opinions dealing with commercial bribery, both domestic and foreign.

This collection of interesting cases from the world of bribery litigation gives insight into a dark side of business that violates state and federal laws.
