The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) was enacted a generation ago primarily as a tool for criminal prosecutors to use against organized crime. Its civil provisions were added to the legislation as an afterthought and remained largely dormant for a decade. How-ever, since the early 1980's, civil RICO has become a widely used - many contend overused-tool in the arsenal of the sophisticated commercial litigator. Used effectively, civil RICO's threat of triple damages, attorney's fees, and the stigma of being labeled a racketeer can bludgeon the opposition into early settlement of cases that otherwise would linger in state courts for years. This seminar will examine the history of civil RICO, and how the federal courts have both facilitated and circumscribed its vast expansion into general commercial litigation. An understanding of civil RICO can significantly affect the analysis a lawyer applies to many commercial / business cases. 2. 000 Credit Hours 2. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Business, Master of Laws, Law Schedule Types: Seminar Chicago- Kent College of Law College Law Department
