Description

This course explores the law of economic and political crimes associated with the rubic "white collar crime." Key topics are: bribery and gratuities, mail and wire fraud, tax fraud, extortion, securities fraud, racketeering, and money laundering, along with quasi-criminal laws on forfeiture of assets. We will study specific statutes (mostly federal) in considerable detail, while also speculating about the jurisprudence underlying these crimes, and related issues of prosecutorial discretion and attorney ethics.

Special instructions: Students may write a paper in lieu of the final exam for Research credit.

This course is open to first-year Law School students.
