On May 12, 2014, Stanford's Arthur and Toni Rembe Rock Center for Corporate Governance hosted this year's Marshall Small Lecture with the Honorable Jed S. Rakoff titled "Why Have No High-Level Executives Been Prosecuted in Connection with the Financial Crisis?" Rakoff discussed why—in striking contrast with past prosecutions of high-level executives involved in the savings-and-loan crisis in the 1980s and widespread accounting fraud in the 1990s and 2000s—not a single high-level executive has been successfully prosecuted in connection with the recent financial crisis.
