Proving a white collar case can present unique challenges for the government. As a result, one often sees "short-cut" offenses being charged: Perjury, False Statements, and Obstruction of Justice. One also sees statutes such as mail fraud and wire fraud stretched to encompass the alleged fraudulent conduct. This presentation explores some of these statutes and how they have been applied in white collar cases.
Ellen Podgor is an expert on white-collar crime and runs an esteemed and influential white collar crime blog. A professor at Stetson University College of Law, Podgor was named the Gary R. Trombley Family White-Collar Crime Research Professor in 2011, and has been quoted in numerous media outlets.
She has co-authored books and articles on white collar crime, criminal law and international criminal law, and is the co-author with federal judge Paul D. Borman and Professors Peter Henning and Jerold Israel of the casebook White Collar Crime: Law and Practice.
Podgor started her law career as a prosecutor, but later became a defense attorney and is active in the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Under Podgor's leadership, Stetson and NACDL have created the White Collar Criminal Defense College, which they bill as a boot-camp for defense attorneys to better hone their advocacy skills. Podgor won the NACDL's top award, the Robert C. Heeney Memorial Award, in August 2010.
