The Report to the Board of Directors of General Motors Company regarding ignition switches, more commonly known as The Valukas Report, lays significant blame on GM's in-house counsel for the less-than-ideal handling of the matter. This panel will discuss and evaluate whether the report’s conclusions are sound and what critical lessons can be learned by other in-house counsel. The panel will also include MRCP 13 (Diligence) and MRCP 1.13 (Organization as Client) discussions, especially as they relate to the Valukas Report.
