Banking On LobbyingFew lawyers have traveled the GC circuit quite as much as Christine Edwards. Since 1997 she's put in two controversy-plagued years at Morgan Stanley (as the first female GC on Wall Street), then a quick nine months at ABN Amro North America, and now she's leaving Bank One Corporation, after three years.

Once More, With 'Conviction' -- TV's 'Law & Order' Mogul Extends EmpireSometimes it seems TV mogul Dick Wolf and his "Law & Order" empire are keeping NBC afloat. One week last season, 12 of NBC's 22 prime-time hours were filled with one or another of the "Law & Order" shows.
