This updated trial advocacy problem provides a practical application for an experiential learning of white collar criminal advocacy. It offers a real-world setting, allowing students to study the handling of a white collar case from the initial meeting with the client through sentencing. Along the way, students are asked to deal with a company search, grand jury investigation, parallel proceedings, joint defense agreement, and all aspects of the pre-trial and trial process.
The book begins with a detailed and complex hypothetical problem. This is followed by an organizational chart, list of characters, and thirty-six attachments. The attachments range from human resource files to search warrants, indictments to plea agreements, and related civil complaints to grand jury/trial transcripts. As law schools move to teaching increased experiential learning, this advocacy problem offers a rich example for studying the intersection of corporate and criminal law. This is also an excellent text for teaching a capstone criminal law course.
