By Rebecca Guiterman Trade secrets cases are on the rise. Most often, they happen when an employee steals confidential computer code or client lists or marketing plans. You may think of them as disputes between employers and employees (or, in one instance, by a marketing agent against an NBA star). While the majority of trade secret theft cases are brought civilly, defendants also face the threat of criminal prosecution under the Economic Espionage Act (EEA), 18 U.S.C....

By Sara Kropf Protective orders in criminal cases are . . . . typical. Boring, even. (Are you really going to read a blog post about protective orders?) But even the most mundane procedural matters seem to take on outsized importance when they arise in the criminal cases against Donald Trump. So, yes, I guess you are going to read a blog post about protect orders....

By Sara Kropf In case you’ve been living under a rock recently, former President Donald Trump was indicted on 37 federal criminal charges relating to classified documents and obstruction of justice. I’m not going to deny that I enjoy this spectacle in many respects, not the least of which is that being someone who knows a bit about this process is suddenly *kind of* cool....

By Sara Kropf When a regular person does something wrong, the Department of Justice has no qualms about bringing criminal charges against him. When the Department of Justice does something wrong, well, it asks for a second chance. A few years ago, I wrote about how the Department of Justice can avoid creating disclosable Brady material by not documenting exculpatory witness statements in interview memos (called “302s”)....

By Sara Kropf Our good friend Sarah Hall wrote an excellent article in the ABA’s Criminal Justice Magazine with Zachary Taylor about the investigation of allegations of abuse in women’s professional soccer conducted by Sally Yates for the U.S. Soccer Federation. The investigation was unusual in that the Federation authorized the release of the report at the same time it was completed....

By Sara Kropf The Department of Justice repeatedly issues guidance to beg coerce encourage companies to self-report wrongdoing and, in effect, sell out their executives as the wrongdoers. As part of this “cooperation,” companies will conduct an internal investigation, review massive numbers of documents, and interview employees and officers. Then, the company summarizes what it found and reports it to DOJ....

By Sara Kropf A few days ago, Donald Trump issued a statement that he expected to be arrested on a specific date. (The announcement was in all caps, of course.) While the arrest did not happen as Mr. Trump apparently expected, it is not unusual for a person to know the date they will be arrested in white collar criminal cases....
