LAW3525 WHITE COLLAR AND CORPORATE CRIME
4 General Credits
This course examines the legal and business dimensions of corporate wrongdoing through the lens of a semester-long simulated internal investigation. Fraud serves as the doctrinal foundation throughout, with additional offenses such as wire fraud, securities fraud, bribery, money laundering, embezzlement, obstruction, and tax fraud, layered in based on the specific scenario under investigation each term. Students work in conducting an internal investigation, receiving exhibit drops, producing periodic reports to a simulated executive committee that assess legal exposure, corporate liability, and enforcement risk. The course balances legal doctrine with business judgment, preparing students to recognize, evaluate, and respond to corporate criminal risk in real-world organizational settings.
