Lots of "white collar" criminal defense lawyers and prosecutors were in town this week at the Eden Roc for the big ABA White Collar Conference. The conference is different than others I have been to because many of the speakers are current and former prosecutors speaking of the virtues of cooperation and pleading. It's a much different atmosphere than the NACDL conferences that I've been to. That said, it isn't all bad and there are lots of interesting and smart people in town.
I didn't see many of the lawyers who had won big white collar cases on the agenda. For example, it's pretty amazing to me that Michael Caruso wasn't invited to speak when he won the biggest securities fraud trial of the year...
In other very sad news, Rumpole and SFL covered the passing of Judge Maxine Cohen Lando, who I really liked a lot. Her funeral is today. RIP.
