| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the podcast, bribes, swindle, or steel. I'm Alexander Rogge. Today I'm speaking |
| 0:11.7 | with the returning friend of the podcast, Randall Eliasson, about a new course that he's designed on white-collar crime that I think is going to be of interest to listeners. |
| 0:20.5 | We'll also talk about |
| 0:21.4 | a few examples from recent headlines. Randall has an interesting background. He was an assistant |
| 0:26.0 | U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia for 12 years. For more than eight of those years, he |
| 0:30.6 | specialized in white-collar crime as a member of the public corruption government fraud section, |

| 1:16.7 | white collar criminal law and the federal criminal justice system as well, designed for lawyers |
| 1:21.7 | and non-lawyers alike to give a sort of comprehensive overview of the area. It's very similar |
| 1:27.0 | to the class that I teach in law school, which is sort of comprehensive overview of the area. It's very similar to the class that I teach |
| 1:28.5 | in law school, which is sort of the great courses theory. They take classes that are taught |
| 1:33.5 | by professors at institutions around the world, and they put them in this video format to make |
| 1:39.3 | them accessible to people who don't attend those schools. So it was about a two-year project, and it's great to finally |
| 1:45.7 | see it completed. Of course, it begins with a lecture on sort of a definition, like what is white |
