    ARREST AND CONVICTION RECORDS IN EMPLOYMENT DECISIONS: THE EEOC EXPLAINS ITS UPDATED GUIDANCE

    By Maurice Emsellem, Don Livingston, Carol Miaskoff

    For the first time since the EEOC issued enforcement guidance on the use of criminal records in employment 25 years ago, the agency has updated that guidance.

    This panel, featuring Carol Miaskoff, Acting Associate Legal Counsel of the EEOC, will explore the nuances of recently-issued enforcement guidance on the arrest or conviction records in employment decisions. Learn how the updated guidance determines disparate impact of policies or practices that screen individuals based on criminal records.

    IS THE DOJ AND SEC WAR ON INSIDER TRADING REWRITING THE RULES?

    By Tammy Eisenberg, Christopher L. Garcia, Thomas O. Gorman, Daniel Hawke, Stuart Kaswell, more¡K

    The Department of Justice and the SEC have declared war on insider trading. The U.S. Attorneys office in Manhattan is leading the charge in criminal enforcement with high profile prosecutions such as the Galleon insider trading cases and the expert network cases. These have been characterized by the use of so-called 'blue collar tactics,' grabbing headlines through the employment of FBI raids, wire taps, and wired informants.

    The tactics have yielded a string of guilty pleas and high profile jury trial convictions with more to come. In their wake, every trader and stock analyst is jittery about what is and is not insider trading. The SEC has coordinated with these efforts, but staked out its own territory in a series of cases which have not grabbed the same kind of headlines, but which may have a more lasting effect on the law of insider trading. These cases push the edge of what is insider trading - and some commentators think they cross the edge.

    Together the Manhattan U.S. Attorney and the SEC seem to be rewriting not just the manner in which insider trading cases are being investigated and prosecuted, but the very definition of insider trading. The implications for everyone are significant. For traders, analysts, and other market professionals, the question is how to fulfill their duties to clients to adequately research trades while not crossing what seems to be a shifting line.

    For companies enforcing compliance programs, there are serious questions about what inside information is and how to effectively enforce their compliance programs. This program will explore current trends in DOJ and SEC enforcement and offer practical approaches to everyone caught in this new war.

    BUGS, BONES & BOTANY: THE SCIENCE OF CRIME

    Our seemingly endless appetite for TV programs about crime science aside, how do forensics really work? This documentary delves into the real world of police investigations and introduces some unexpected heroes on the forensic scene. Bugs, plants, bones are some of nature's best detectives.

    With the help of Dr. Jennifer Gardy, of British Columbia's Centre for Disease Control (CDC), sift through the mayhem, murder and science that make up the world of forensic investigation. In the field and the lab, follow scientists who are able to read the subtlest evidence and turn nature to righting wrongs. Sometimes these clues are disturbing, sometimes they are surprisingly beautiful. You'd be hard pressed to find a better guide, than Dr. Gardy, to this world where, plants, bones even dust, can be turned into formidable enemies of crime.

    But the real secret of using science for solving crime may be less about technology and more about the careful observation of the natural world. Partnering the latest technologies with nature's own detectives produces a powerful combination that is giving law enforcement new and astounding advantages in this high stakes game of cat and mouse.

    EYEWITNESS: UNRELIABLE EVIDENCE

    It's one of the justice system's little secrets. Take a selective and sometimes deceptive memory, add flawed police procedures, and witnesses will identify the wrong person - but no one knows how often. Not convinced? Well then, you be the eyewitness. This program starts with a staged shooting - an experiment to test the weakness of eyewitness testimony conducted by Dr. Rod Lindsay who studies eyewitness memory. After the "shooting", students are asked to identify the shooter. Some remember nothing but the shock of the event; others offer detailed descriptions, but it's hard to believe they saw the same person. Lindsay states that best estimates put the number of innocent people convicted based on identification error in Canada at 40 to 300 individuals per year. What role does standard police procedures have in this alarming statistic? What can be done to reduce the chance of mis-identification?

    PLEA BARGAINS & CONDITIONAL SENTENCING

    Most people believe in the saying "if you do the crime, you do the time". However, some criminals are managing to avoid jail time as a result of lawyers negotiating plea bargains and conditional sentencing. How and why these practices have been used is the subject of much controversy, a case in point being the infamous Bernado and Homolka trial. Critics argue that the punishment no longer fits the crime and victims feel that justice has given way to expediency. The National takes a look at two cases of plea bargaining and conditional sentencing and explores the effects that they had on the victims and their families. The National explores how effective these practices are, and if justice is truly being served.
