Blue-Chip Bilking: Regulation Of Billing And Expense Fraud By Lawyers, Lisa G. Lerman

Scholarly Articles

This study of recent cases of billing and expense fraud confirms the views of David Wilkins, Ted Schneyer, and many other scholars that the disciplinary system performs only one of several needed regulatory functions. The cases demonstrate the need for public and private regulatory responses that not only receive and investigate complaints, but also provide education, prevention, proactive monitoring, and remediation. Lawyers who engage in billing and expense fraud should be fired, disbarred, prosecuted on criminal charges, sued for malpractice. If the public and private organizations that can attend to this problem take it seriously, the norms in the legal …

Contesting Government's Financial Interest In Drug Cases, Eric D. Blumenson, Eva Nilsen

Faculty Scholarship

In 1984, the civil asset forfeiture law was amended to allow the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and state law enforcement agencies to retain many of the "drug-related assets" they seize for their own law enforcement purposes. Under this amendment, some local law enforcement agencies have managed to double or triple their appropriated budgets by targeting such assets. As former Attorney General Richard Thornburgh has noted, "it's now possible for a drug dealer to serve time in a forfeiture-financed prison after being arrested by agents driving a forfeiture-provided automobile while working in a forfeiture-funded sting operation." The American people, however, …

The Judicial Politics Of White Collar Crime, J. Kelly Strader

UC Law Journal

White collar crime cases produce a curious paradox in Supreme Court jurisprudence: in a substantial number of the Court's leading white collar criminal cases, ranging from insider trading to political corruption cases, the "liberal" justices have voted to affirm convictions, and the "conservative" justices to reverse them. Even more frequently, these cases have produced strange alliances among the liberals and conservatives, who rarely split into such groupings in non-white collar criminal cases. And it is not merely votes and alliances that change in white collar cases; judicial philosophies, attitudes, and rhetoric transmogrify into a veritable twilight zone of Supreme Court …

Malaysia's "Computer Crimes Act 1997" Gets Tough On Cybercrime But Fails To Advance The Development Of Cyberlaws, Donna L. Beatty

Washington International Law Journal

Malaysia is in the process of developing the Multimedia Super Corridor ("MSC"), a high-tech zone sometimes called "the Silicon Valley of the East." As a way of attracting investors to the MSC, Malaysia is adopting business-friendly policies and comprehensive "cyberlaws" designed to assure MSC participants that they and their technology will be protected. One of Malaysia's many goals is to be a leader in the development of cyberlaws. However, the Computer Crimes Act 1997 is too flawed to place Malaysia in that role. The Computer Crimes Act is designed to prevent computer crimes such as hacking, virus planting and the …

Toward A Theory Of Reciprocal Responsibility Between Clients And Lawyers: A Comment On David Wilkins’ Do Clients Have Ethical Obligations To Lawyers? Some Lessons From The Diversity Wars, Carrie Menkel-Meadow

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

On my plane flight to attend the American Association of Law Schools meeting at which Professor David Wilkins presented his paper, Do Clients Have Ethical Obligations to Lawyers? Some Lessons From the Diversity Wars, the pilot requested passengers to "assist the flight attendants in their principal duty of providing safety to all passengers," following a recent incident with mid-flight turbulence in which one person died and several were injured. The pilot reminded us that "service" was only a secondary function of the flight attendants, with their principal duty being to ensure that all of us traveled and arrived safely, …

Developments In Disclosure: Special Problems In Public Offerings - Forward-Looking Information, Including The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Of 1995, Herbert S. Wander, Jonathan I. Cope, Jonathan Dariyanani

San Diego Law Review

This Article examines recent developments in disclosure with regard to public offerings and disclosures to trading markets. It analyzes current practices involving analysts, T + 3, the "bespeaks caution" doctrine, and the use of forward-looking information, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PSLRA). The author concludes that securities litigation is likely to be reduced by the PSLRA.
