             THE LAW OF CORPORATE

   INVESTIGATIONS AND THE GLOBAL

           EXPANSION OF CORPORATE

             CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT



                 JENNIFER  ARLEN*   AND  SAMUEL W. BUELL



      The United States model  of corporate crime  control, developed  over the
last two decades,  couples a broad  rule of corporate  criminal liability with a
practice  of reducing sanctions,  and often withholding   conviction, for firms
that  assist enforcement   authorities by  detecting, reporting,  and  helping
prove   criminal  violations. This  model,  while  subject  to skepticism  and
critiques, has  attracted interest among   reformers  in overseas  nations that
have  sought  to increase the frequency and  size of their enforcement actions.
In both  the United States and abroad,  insufficient attention has been paid to
how   laws controlling the conduct  of corporate  investigations are critical to
regimes   of corporate  criminal liability and public  enforcement.  Doctrines
