Friday Roundup
False, lack of context, stay in your lane, and for the reading stack. It’s all here in the Friday roundup.
False
At times it seems like we live in a post-factual world. If a fact gets in the way of a narrative, you just ignore the fact, pretend it doesn’t exist, and hope nobody calls you out on it.
New Article – Has The FCPA Been Successful In Achieving Its Objectives?
Law review publishing is seldom speedy.

The article can be downloaded here and the abstract is set forth below. Do read the article and answer the question for yourself.

Each January, this website publishes numerous year in review posts (see here).

The 2018 version (forthcoming in the Mississippi Law Journal) can be downloaded here.
Below is the abstract.
FCPA Unit Chief Kahn On Multijurisdictional Cases
Recently, DOJ Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Unit Chief Daniel Kahn penned an article in the Department of Justice Journal of Federal Law and Practice titled “Responding to the Upward Trend of Multijurisdictional Cases: Problems and Solutions.”
The Journal of Federal Law and Practice is the renamed United States Attorneys’ Bulletin and compared to delivering speeches, it is nice to see our public officials write articles (complete with certain footnotes) on topics they oversee.
