Stephen

Saltzburg

From a programmatic standpoint, October is a busy month for the Section. We are sponsoring eight CLE programs (see the calendar below).  Each addresses a topic that is both timely and relevant to the practice of criminal law. Issues to be addressed by the various programs include: international criminal investigations and their defense; criminal enforcement of intellectual property rights; the lengths the government will go to subpoena journalists and their confidential sources; anti-money laundering techniques that bear on international issues such as trade finance and due diligence for correspondent and private banking; and how in-house lawyers evolved from counselors to targets.

 

Additionally, former Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty – issuer of the McNulty Memorandum, which provided new restrictions on prosecutors seeking privileged information from companies – will be the keynote speaker at the National Institute on Securities Fraud on Oct. 25. 

      

Finally, don’t forget to register for our Plea Bargaining Conference, which coincides with the Section Fall Meeting, and takes place on Nov. 2 in Washington, D.C.

The Citizenship Flowchart

 

The Citizenship Flowchart

An easy-to-understand flowchart that provides ultimate answer as to citizenship status by taking user through the complex and sometimes conflicting steps and questions linked to a century of legislation and regulation. This laminated 4-color chart takes you through a process of determining citizenship through a series of yes or no questions. The end result will ultimately make a determination of an individual's citizenship in the United States.  In addition, there are 32 pages of reference text allowing you to examine the basis for the individual questions in more detail if you wish.
