NEW! NEW: 75% of the ?In the News? boxes are real-life examples of misconduct and the effects of misconduct. Examples include the case against former New York governor Elliot Spitzer for transferring money across state lines for prostitutes, possibly misusing state police powers and former Illinois governor Blagojevich for attempting to ?sell? President Obama's Senate seat; the sweeping 44-person corruption arrests in New Jersey involving three mayors, two state assemblymen, five rabbis, and a state senator and the case against Robert Simels, a New York criminal defense attorney who was sentenced in federal court December 2009 for witness tampering and bribery, after a conversation with an informant in which he discussed how to ?silence? and ?eliminate? a witness.
