In this episode, Mihailis Diamantis, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Iowa College of Law, discusses his article "The Corporate Insanity Defense," which will be published in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology. Diamantis observes that nothing about the insanity defense prevents its application to a corporation. He argues that in some circumstances, corporations fail to control their agents, despite making the best possible effort. In some circumstances, the corporation is arguably "insane" because it lacks the volition to make a wrongful act. Under those circumstances, it would be counterproductive to punish the corporation.
