This law school casebook addresses substantive and procedural areas of importance in white-collar criminal practice. The book covers a variety of substantive crimes, including perjury, false statements, false claims, obstruction of justice, mail and wire fraud, public corruption, insider trading, conspiracy, RICO, and money laundering. It then tackles procedural issues critical to white-collar practice: grand jury, discovery, the fifth amendment right against self-incrimination as applied to testimony and physical evidence, the attorney-client privilege, representation issues, plea bargaining and cooperation agreements, and parallel proceedings. Throughout, the materials emphasize ethical issues facing criminal law practitioners, and highlight the considerations that affect prosecutors' choices in pursuing and charging cases, and defense counsel's challenges in defending against such choices. The materials also cover, in discrete chapters, mens rea issues, entity liability, and the theory and practice of sentencing under the advisory (but still important) Federal Sentencing Guidelines for both individuals and organizations. This book differs from others in: its comprehensive coverage and thus the opportunity it affords professors to tailor the course to their own preferences in subject-matter; its balance between practical and theoretical issues; its use of materials from real cases (such as the Lewinsky prosecution, the Arthur Andersen case, and the like); its balance between substantive and procedural issues; and its detailed coverage of sentencing issues.

This casebook provides a coherent treatment of the major issues arising in terrorism investigations and prosecutions. It highlights differences in the criminal law and procedure rules applied in civilian terrorism cases with those used in ordinary crime matters as well as in military commission processes. This edition has been thoroughly revised and reorganized to include the latest cases, statutes and administrative materials regarding proactive surveillance, FBI interrogation rules, national security letters, and military detention and interrogation. It includes, inter alia, extended notes on changes effected by the Obama administration and issues arising out of the effort to close Guantanamo.

This new edition of the classic casebook has been entirely reworked, and text and note materials are used much more extensively than in the previous editions to present doctrinal developments. Contains the latest Supreme Court decisions in the field, new legislation and legislative proposals, and the latest versions of the Sentencing Guidelines and prosecutorial policies culled from the U.S. Attorneys' Manual. Can be readily taught in a first year, second-semester criminal law offering, or, as it has been traditionally used, for advanced criminal law courses on federal criminal law, white collar crime, RICO, or similar topics.

(The fifth edition is an entire reworking of this classic ...)
The fifth edition is an entire reworking of this classic casebook. Beyond its traditional role in teaching a broad-gauge federal criminal law course, the book is appropriate to use for white-collar crime courses, for example, fraud materials focus on business practices uncovered in the current economic meltdown. New chapters include Plea Bargaining and Cooperation Agreements, and Conspiracy. All of the chapters have been substantially revamped, reflecting recent Supreme Court rulings, new case law, and statutory changes. This edition features the addition of a new co-author, Professor Susan R. Klein of the University of Texas Law School.

The Sixth Edition is an entire reworking of this classic casebook.

New chapters and new sections include Corporate Criminal Liability (new chapter 9), the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (chapter 5, section E), Plea Bargaining after Lafler and Frye (chapter 17 Part B), corporate plea, cooperation, and deferred-prosecution agreements (chapter 17, Section C), and general defenses to federal criminal liability (chapter 8, Section E).
