Topics in White Collar Crime

This seminar surveys the landscape of white-collar crime from a practitioner's point of view, probing the line between civil and criminal enforcement. The course explores subtopics in white-collar law-for example, fraud, insider trading or public corruption-by delving into recent, high-profile cases, analyzing the legal issues presented, and discussing how the case was prosecuted and defended. It also focuses on specific aspects of white-collar practice-for example, how a company goes about conducting an internal investigation with potential criminal liability looming. Students will submit a 25-page research paper that can be used to satisfy the Significant Upper-Level Writing Requirement. Grading and Method of Evaluation: Letter grade with pass/fail option.
