Please describe the publication's mission and readership:
Some 60,000 in-house lawyers work at businesses in the United States, and Corporate Counsel tries to educate, inspire, and entertain them. As the leading publication in its field, our magazine and website serve up plenty of industry news (which lawyers lost their jobs in scandal; who masterminded successful litigation strategies). But most important, we profile top in-house attorneys—general counsel—who have faced unique and interesting challenges in their work. In essence, we're a combination of Fortune and The American Lawyer. We're a lively business magazine for serious people.
Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
Senior reporter Sue Reisinger has been covering the big banks for a long time. In 2015 she reported on the endless penalties virtually all of them faced, while executives escaped unscathed and business went on as usual. After we published many of these stories on our website, we asked Reisinger to tackle the larger issue behind them: What happened to bank regulation? In her masterful cover story for the magazine, she laid out the damning facts (including the bank-by-bank ledger of $323 billion in penalties from 2010 to 2014). Then she explained why these penalties have had so little effect, and described possible solutions proposed by various experts. Finally we got to see what’s really going on in this troubled industry.
