LAW 7217 - The RICO Act: Civil and Criminal Liability
Credits: 2
Explores the fundamental elements of civil and criminal causes of action under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1961, et seq., and the policies and cultural dynamics that caused Congress to pass RICO in 1970 and that have led to its expansive use in federal and state courts today. The course relies heavily on contemporary RICO prosecutions and RICO scenarios presented in popular movies and television shows, such as The Godfather, Breaking Bad, and Better Call Saul. This course provides students with unique knowledge about a complex and expanding area of the law that will be valuable in any public or private litigation practice.
