Inhaltsangabe

The first inside look at how the elite white-collar crime defense bar goes about its work. Mann's book reveals that these lawyers see their main task as controlling information about their clients, especially the flow of harmful information to government investigators. As both lawyer and sociologist, Mann was able to gain access only rarely available to scholars. His book raises important questions for the bar and for the administration of justice.

"An excellent introduction to white-collar criminal defense for practitioners, law students, and potential clients. . . . I would make this book required reading for all prosecutors."—Lawrence B. Pedowitz, former federal prosecutor, Legal Times of New York

 

"Analytical, detailed, well illustrated, and an authoritative portrait of American white-collar crime attorneys at work."—M. David Ermann, Contemporary Sociology
