May 13: DC - Criminal Law and the Administrative State: Defining and Enforcing Regulatory Crimes #MCLE

Current topics at the intersection of criminal law and the administrative state. Among the many issues for discussion, we will examine questions arising from statutory schemes that include criminal penalties for regulatory violations and consider the debate regarding overfederalization and overcriminalization. We will also take a look at agency enforcement and prosecutorial approaches to regulatory crimes, including the modern trend towards deferred prosecution agreements and “regulation by prosecutors.”
