Corporate Law Center Hosts Hilibrand Series Examining White Collar Practice
This spring, the Yale Law School Center for the Study of Corporate Law4, with support of the Hilibrand Foundation, hosted a three-part panel series on contemporary issues in white collar practice. The panels were moderated by David Zornow ’805, Center Fellow, Visiting Lecturer in Law at Yale Law School, and Of Counsel, White Collar Defense and Investigations, at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP. Discussions explored current federal and civil enforcement priorities, the evolving jurisprudence around the use of federal criminal mail, wire, and securities fraud statutes, and the current and future state of cryptocurrency enforcement. Structured as off-the-record conversations, students had the opportunity to both hear from and question prominent members of the judiciary, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney’s Offices of Connecticut and New York, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the defense bar.
