switch to text version Black Letter Law / White Collar Crime INNOVATIVE TEACHING National Security, Law Enforcement, and Terrorism Deals Trial in American Life ... Sentencing Black Letter Law / White Collar Crime Amid a hair-splitting debate over the meaning of the words ‘willfully' and ‘knowingly' in Section 32 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Professor John C. Coffee acknowledges, "If you're loafing through life, you might find the distinction between these two words boring. But if you have any intention of being a lawyer, this will be important." Thus begins a discussion of the 1934 Act that grew out of U.S. v. Murdoch , a case that continues to address critical issues—particularly whether a person is guilty of securities fraud if she did not have an evil purpose or an awareness that she was committing a wrongful act. Prof. Coffee points out that the judge who ultimately defined these words—Henry Friendly, formerly chief judge of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals—was as famous to lawyers in his time as the Beatles were to the general public. It will not be the last reference to pop culture in a class that veers from the Martha Stewart trial to the question of who has jurisdiction to penalize poor conduct by professional basketball players. Black Letter Law/White Collar Crime looks at corporate scandals over the past 30 years—for example, Enron, Drexel Burnham, Ivan Boesky, overseas questionable payments, and corporate political contributions—to help students understand how conflicts of interest can trigger crimes, from bid-rigging to insider trading. The seminar is co-taught by Prof. Coffee, one of the nation's most eminent corporate law scholars, and Jed Rakoff, a federal district judge in the Southern District of New York (and former prosecutor), who discusses his own involvement in major cases, such as WorldCom. About a quarter of the class material is new each year. "The trouble with a casebook is that it freezes you in time," says Prof. Coffee. "We like to do the scandal du jour."

22. The Sociological Origins Of "White-Collar Crime Many federal offenses prosecuted under the label of “whitecollar crime” are of general Motors who wrote `An Autobiography of a white collar Worker. ). http://www.heritage.org/Research/LegalIssues/lm14.cfm

Return Home The Sociological Origins of "White-Collar Crime" by John S. Baker, Jr. Legal Memorandum #14 According to the Department of Justice, "White-collar offenses shall constitute those classes of non-violent illegal activities which principally involve traditional notions of deceit, deception, concealment, manipulation, breach of trust, subterfuge or illegal circumvention." Under that definition, the illegal purchase of prescriptions and music pirating clearly qualify. The Justice Department has recently promoted the idea that enforcement of federal crimes should be uniform. Nevertheless, it is highly unlikely that federal prosecutors will hand down millions (or any) indictments of seniors, parents, and children for these crimes. Despite the rhetoric, the decision to prosecute is unavoidably discretionary. How do prosecutors determine whom to prosecute? All too often, the choice reflects contemporary politicsand today's criminal du jour is the "white-collar" crook. Yet when most people talk about vigorously prosecuting white-collar crime, they don't mean locking up those who purchase medicine from neighboring countries or pirate music over the Internet, despite the fact that such crimes defraud pharmaceutical and music corporations (and thus their shareholders) of billions of dollars. What accounts for the difference in treatment? The Justice Department's formal definition of white-collar crime disregards class or economic status. But the truth is that in white-collar cases, such distinctions do influence decisions about whether or not to prosecute. Government prosecutors are far more likely to indict the "upper-class" businessman who works for Tycoor the faceless Arthur Andersen partnershipthan a middle-class grandmother who buys medications in Canada. This reflects the socialist origin of the "white-collar crime" concept. The war against white-collar crime thus unwittingly stems from and embraces a class-based sociological concept of crime.

Return Home Sentencing of Corporate Fraud and White Collar Crime by Paul Rosenzweig Testimony Good morning Judge Murphy and Members of the Commission.Thank you for the opportunity to testify on the proposed amendment regarding corporate fraud and, more generally, about the nature of white-collar crime sentencing. White Collar Crime, Business Fraud, and Regulatory Fraud The proposal before the Commission would (as did the emergency amendment) add two new levels to the loss table in section 2B1.1 at the top end, providing for even greater penalties for frauds involving more than $200 and $400 million respectively.It would also make permanent various new provisions enhancing penalties when the fraud in question affects a large number of victims, involves a director or officers of a publicly traded company, or substantially endangers the safety and soundness of a financial institution, a public company, or a large private company. all With all due respect to the Department, I believe that the alternative it urges, embodied in the options proposed for consideration by the Commission, misread Congressional intent in enacting Sarbanes-Oxley.

Site Index 27 February 1998 WHITE COLLAR CRIME - A CHALLENGE TO THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM If the legal profession and courts cannot modify their cultures to rein in the cost of white collar crime on the criminal justice system, it will be up to Parliaments to close loopholes and remove discretions that allow lengthy court delays on technical points. In my address in Adelaide today to the Australian Institute of Judicial Administration conference on white collar crime I have stressed that the criminal justice system is failing to address many of the problems presented by white collar crime. There has been no lack of effort in encouraging shorter court cases and a more co-operative approaches to the preparation and conduct of criminal cases - the real question is why there has been so little progress. It is clear that a defendant determined to delay a trial as long as possible may take every legal point, however technical, appeal again and again against investigation and prosecution decisions, require the prosecution to prove every aspect of its case, whether an issue is in genuine dispute or not, all within the law. Complex fraud cases involving a genuinely indigent defendant can gain a virtual permanent stay of trial.

Site Index 21 May 1999 LEGAL WORKING GROUP ESTABLISHED TO COMBAT WHITE COLLAR CRIME I am pleased to announce the establishment of a working group of eminent judges and lawyers to develop proposals for addressing the serious problems presented to the criminal justice system by complex white collar crime. High on the agenda for the working group will be an examination of the need to change current legal and judicial culture to bring about effective reform. The group is also being asked to consider other issues of importance to the criminal justice system. The group will review the extent and operation of an accused's "right to silence". It is also being asked to address the problems currently facing legal aid agencies nationally by the High Court decision in Dietrich's case. That decision had the effect of staying some trials unless legal aid is granted to an indigent accused, halting the criminal justice process. The proposals for reform produced by the working group will be considered by the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General (SCAG) with a view to being put before a larger forum.

White-Collar Crime Victims and the Issue of Trust Basia Spalek Abstract This paper presents the results of a study exploring relationships of trust and distrust between the offender, the victims, regulators and the wider financial system in a particular case of white-collar crime. Individuals whose pension fund assets were defrauded by Robert Maxwell were interviewed in order to examine the consequences of financial crime and mismanagement upon the construction of trust towards financial investment. Results reveal that individuals manage the risks posed by financial crime and mismanagement through complex, yet routine, perceptions of trust and distrust, which may be profoundly influenced by an experience of victimisation. Introduction Trust Fukuyama (1996) argues that modern economic life entails a minimum level of trust, where trust is defined as: The expectation that arises within a community of regular, honest and co-operative behaviour, based on commonly shared norms, on the part of other members of that community (Fukuyama: 1996: 26).

Most white collar crimes also fall under the general category of financial crimes, because most of these acts involve illegal acquisition of monetary gains. The white collar crime sentence depends on the severity and type of crime involved. In general, a white collar crime can be prosecuted through the federal or state court system. There are governing and regulatory agencies on both the federal and state level s that are assigned to combat the problem of white collar crimes. These agencies view white collar crime as a significant problem and will usually seek the highest white collar crime sentence possible. Punishments included in a white collar crime sentence usually include fines and/or imprisonment and they may also require a probationary period.
