The 2008 White Collar Crime National Institute will be meeting March 5-7, 2008 for the twenty-second consecutive year. Over 1,000 practitioners attended last year’s annual gathering of the national white collar bar. As in the past, we continue to have outstanding panelists who will deal with the most timely issues.

Each year the Institute brings together judges, federal, state and local prosecutors, other law enforcement officials, defense attorneys, corporate in-house counsel, and members of the academic community. Among the audience are experienced litigators as well as attorneys who are beginning to concentrate in the white collar area. Attendees have consistently given the Institute high ratings for the exceptional quality of the Institute’s publication, its valuable updates on new developments and strategies, as well as the rare opportunity to meet colleagues in this field, renew acquaintances and exchange ideas.

The faculty includes some of the leading white collar lawyers in the United States. This year’s keynote panels will continue to focus on the role of ethics and corporate compliance in today’s business environment. Once again, we are pleased that we will have excellent representation from the corporate sector.

We will feature panels on the ethical obligations of counsel when representing corporations, their directors, officers and employees as well as on the importance of effective compliance programs.
