White Collar Crime: Cases, Materials, and Problems

Posted by admin as conspiracy theories

White Collar Crime: Cases, Materials, and Problems draws from the authors’ practical experience in both prosecuting and defending white collar crime cases. The text also explores recurring issues of policy and theory in these cases. By combining these practical and theoretical perspectives - illustrated by the extensive use of problems throughout the text - White Collar Crime offers an approach that is unique among white collar crime and federal criminal law casebooks. The text also covers the most recent, important, and highly publicized white collar crime cases, including United States v. Martha Stewart, United States v. Arthur Andersen, and United States v. Booker / United States v. Fanfan. The text is organized to provide comprehensive coverage of both the law and practice of white collar crime. The text provides: -A comprehensive overview of the substantive law of white collar crime - including the leading cases and accompanying notes - in much the same way that a first-year criminal law casebook provides an overview of basic criminal law doctrine (topics include conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud, securities fraud, computer fraud, bribery, extortion, perjury, false statements, obstruction of justice, tax fraud, money laundering, and RICO); -An overview of the primary procedural issues that typically arise in and often are unique to white collar investigations and prosecutions (topics include internal investigations, parallel proceedings, compliance programs, grand juries, Fifth Amendment, sentencing, civil fines and penalties, and forfeitures); and -Practice problems that will enhance both effective teaching and student comprehension.
