Sarbanes-Oxley: The Movie?
In order to help directors understand the Sarbanes-Oxley law, a Missouri law firm has made a movie. This is quite inventive. After hearing too much about New Orleans, this is a welcome break. Good job on taking lemons and making lemonade on the Sarbanes-Oxley law.

Making an entertaining program about Sarbanes-Oxley and corporate governance is tantamount to Mission Impossible. But for one Missouri law firm, it became a challenge to boldly go where no lawyers had gone before. Indeed, Polsinelli Shalton Welte Suelthaus PC launched a new enterprise: Sarbanes-Oxley, the movie ... or in the law firm's case, a 25-minute film, "Directors' Dilemma." The drama is a result of mind-melding between Ken Suelthaus, vice chairman, and Frank Ross, chairman of the business law department, whose vision was to create a teaching tool that didn't sound like Klingon to executives and directors. "We came to the conclusion that the typical program - one person speaking, one after another - had been done so many times that it wasn't unusual," Suelthaus said, "and aside from that, it wasn't very interesting."
