21 Crim. Just. Sec. Newsl. 1 (2012-2013)

handle is hein.aba/cjsnw0021 and id is 1 raw text is: Chair William Shepherd urged Robert Johnson the co- chair of the Section's International Committee to get the committee to join an effort to make the CJS more active internationally. While the CJS had a very active Global Anti-Corruption Task Force, there was not a great deal of other activity on the international front. As you can see, Bob Johnson took this to heart. Section Director Jack Hanna states, As a former Section Chair, Bob's record is a great one for setting the wheels in motion through long range planning for big accomplishments such as the State Policy Implementation Project and the Criminal Justice Congress. Bob and others in the Section leadership took a look at new and complex money laundering and fraudulent financial schemes rampant in today's uncertain global economy; white-collar criminal prosecution and practice especially cross border discovery; the globalization of anti-corruption investigations and prosecution and the issues surrounding global terrorism and human trafficking. They concluded that modern criminal justice is characterized by trans-national law enforcement initiatives and US companies and foreign companies doing work in the US and their lawyers must become aware of these trends and their impact on attorney client privilege. In response to these phenomena and the resulting needs of its member practitioners, the CJS has taken a number of steps to become more relevant to an international audience. One of the first international endeavors of the CJS was the establishment of the Global Anti-Corruption Task Force (co-chairs Andrew S. Boutros and T. Markus Funk). In the second year since inception, the Task Force has had another dynamic year characterized by significant accomplishments. As part of its online publication function the Task Force published a widely-heralded Special Report on Corporate Compliance. The Special Report was authored by the University of Chicago Corporate Lab, in conjunction with Microsoft. The Task Force, in conjunction with the University of Chicago Law School and its Legal Forum Journal, co-hosted a special symposium at the Law School entitled Combating Corruption. The Symposium was capped off with a keynote address by Patrick Fitzgerald, the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. The Task Force Co-Chairs led an April 2012 panel presentation at the International Section's Spring Meeting in New York City and is assisting in the planning of the International Internal Corporate Investigations program in Germany on December 8, 2012. The Task Force has organized, recruited, and is in the process of running a special student series in its Insights from the Trenches feature. The Task Force is relatively new on the anti-corruption scene, but, as indicated by the thousands of web mentions it and its activities have received, it is making significant strides towards becoming a preeminent player in the field. The Section this year is co-sponsoring the Fall Institute with the International Society for the Reform of Criminal Law (the Society). The Society is an international leader in criminal justice policy development and legal education in criminal law. Hopes are that this collaborative relationship
