Overview of class

The course will cover the substantive law in the area such as mail and wire fraud, bribery, insider trading, perjury and obstruction of justice. The course will also provide an overview of typical procedural and practical issues, such as the use of the Grand Jury, Fifth Amendment invocation, internal investigations, parallel civil and criminal proceedings, corporate compliance programs, and sentencing. Finally, the course will put these principles into context with examples from past and recent white collar crime cases, such as the Galleon insider trading cases, the Pharma Bro case, Operation Varsity Blues (college admissions), Fyre Festival, and the Mueller investigations, and will draw on the instructor's and guest lecturers' experiences as Assistant United States Attorneys, federal judges, and criminal defense lawyers.
