Attorney General Eric Holder will travel to New York on Wednesday September 17, 2014 to deliver a speech on “corporate crime and compliance.”

Holder will speak to the NYU School of Law’s Program on Corporate Compliance and Enforcement.

Holder has come under heavy criticism in recent months for his failure to criminally prosecute any major bank or send to jail any major bank CEO in connection with the 2008 financial implosion.

He has also been criticized for the settlements he has entered into with Wall Street banks, most recently his $17 billion settlement with Bank of America.

The Program on Corporate Compliance and Enforcement is directed by NYU Professors Jennifer Arlen and Geoffrey Miller.

Arlen is organizing an April 2015 conference on corporate crime and financial misdealing.

Arlen says it will be an interdisciplinary conference involving scholars from law, business, sociology, economics, and psychology who will present original papers on corporate crime and securities fraud.

The papers will be published in the Research Handbook on Corporate Crime and Financial Misdealing (Jennifer Arlen ed., Edward Elgar Press).

Conference participants include: Jennifer Arlen, Cindy Alexander, Miriam Baer, Samuel Buell, Stephen Choi, Mark Cohen, Kevin Davis, David Engstrom, Brandon Garrett, Vic Khanna, Michael Klausner, Geoffrey Miller, Adam Pritchard, Sally Simpson, Matthew Stephenson, and Tom Tyler.
