NACDL's 2023 White Collar Seminar and Fall Board Meeting will be held on October 18-21, 2023 at the Capital Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC.
Program Summary:
With nearly 5,000 federal criminal offenses, and hundreds of thousands of regulations that can be punished criminally, the power of the federal prosecutor has never been stronger. Many of these offenses are vague on their face, others can be stretched beyond recognition, and nearly all are connected to the ever-increasing Sentencing Guidelines. Prosecutors are armed with broad charging discretion, and discovery rules that consistently favor the government. For those accused of white collar crime, this is their reality.
It is for all these reasons that NACDL’s Defending the White Collar Case: In And Out of Court Seminar was created nearly two decades ago. Each year the white collar defense bar gathers to learn from each other, to improve their skills, and to ensure they are well-positioned to provide their clients the best defense possible.
The power of prosecutors is great, but this defense revival meeting is even greater.
