About the Course

The Extra-Mural course in White-Collar Crime at Trinity College Dublin aims to provide participants with an up-to-date understanding of white-collar crime. The course is tailored to ensuring that participants are fully appraised of key issues associated with white-collar crime by integrating an analysis of substantive criminal law issues with a consideration of key procedural issues, enabling practitioners to further appreciate how the law is developing and how to advise clients in practice.

In particular, the course will discuss the enhancing criminalisation of corporate conduct, issues of investigating, prosecuting and defending white-collar crime in practice, the lessons from recent cartel investigations and prosecutions, how proceeds of crime and money laundering regimes interrelate with business crimes, whistleblowers and recent developments in sentencing and ancillary civil penalisation measures. Further considered are how the tools of mutual assistance and extradition apply in this area.

Throughout the course, attention is focused upon topical and emerging judicial and legislative developments in the area and on the effects of these developments on the subject in practice. The course will delivered in weekly two-hour sessions over six evenings between January and February 2015.

Lectures are delivered by Shelley Horan BL, author of Corporate Crime (Bloomsbury Professional, 2011) and Lecturer in Corporate, White-Collar and Regulatory Crime on the Masters in Law Degree Programme at Trinity College Dublin, and by a number of leading experts. Through this integrated delivery of lectures, participants’ learning experience is enhanced by a combination of academic and practical perspectives.
