A Trial That Went Forward: What the Corsa Coal Case Reveals About Today’s FCPA Enforcement
On February 18, 2026, consistent with our warnings that Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement had not disappeared—just evolved—a jury in Pennsylvania delivered a clear message. Charles Hunter Hobson, a former vice president at Corsa Coal, was convicted of conspiring to bribe officials at Al Nasr Co. for Coke and Chemicals, an Egyptian state‑affiliated entity, to secure coal‑supply contracts worth roughly $143 million.
It’s All About the Workflow: the Mindset Behind Successful AI Adoption in US Litigation and Investigations
Artificial Intelligence Clients and law firms are all asking the same question: what AI tool should we be using? That’s the wrong question. Successful AI adoption is not about selecting the right tool: it requires a rewired organizational mindset and workflow design. Firms should revisit traditional workflows to develop multi-stage processes integrating different tools and appropriate human review. This will open up more complex projects to AI efficiencies.

The FCPA Awakens: DOJ Announces New Enforcement Guidelines
In the third week of the Trump Administration, the President announced a 180 day “pause” on the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which was promptly followed by a memorandum from the Attorney General introducing a shift in focus of FCPA enforcement to cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs).
DOJ’s New White-Collar Enforcement Priorities: Where We’re Headed Under Trump 2.0
On May 12, 2025, the new head of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Criminal Division, Matthew Galeotti, issued a memorandum outlining DOJ’s white-collar enforcement priorities (Galeotti Memo). The Galeotti Memo builds upon a series of Executive Orders from President Trump and memoranda from Attorney General Pam Bondi, which we wrote about here.

As enforcement policies continue to evolve and related penalties continue to increase, multinational corporations and their advisors need clear, well-informed, and understandable guidance on anti-bribery and corruption laws in the jurisdictions where they do business.
DOJ Unveils the Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program
Earlier this month, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) officially launched its new three-year Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program (Pilot Program). The focus of the Pilot Program is to incentivize the reporting of misconduct—specifically misconduct within financial institutions, foreign and domestic corruption and bribery, and health care fraud—in order to “fill the gaps” in other federal whistleblower programs.

Cooperation with prosecuting and regulatory authorities
Cooperation with law enforcement agencies and other authorities is an important element of the strategic response to regulatory proceedings, corporate crime investigations and prosecutions. Voluntary cooperation can help to address a wide range of risks, but it is vital to tread carefully so as not to disclose information that could be commercially or legally damaging. The process is complicated because the approach to cooperation amongst authorities varies across jurisdictions.
Bowhunting Couple Get Two Great Bucks
It’s a good thing to have a girlfriend who supports your bowhunting obsession. It’s even better when she’ll go bowhunting with you. It’s the best thing when she kills a possible Pope & Young buck the same month as you. That’s the fortune of Blake Clifton, of Monroe. He has hunted since his early teens and his infatuation with killing big whitetails has grown over the years.
Trying Cases During Trying Times: Recommendations for the Bench and Bar
With the recent and unfortunate surge of the delta variant, it’s clear that judges and lawyers will need to adapt to new ways of trying cases for the foreseeable future in order to keep all trial participants safe and healthy. However, it is also important to continue to refine these procedures so as to minimize the challenges inherent in trying cases during these unprecedented times.
2018 Georgia Spring Turkey Hunting Outlook
Every turkey hunter greets the sunrise of a new turkey season with the anticipation of thundering gobbles and bagging a tom. However, since turkey numbers are highly cyclic, some years are much better than others. In fact, most seasons are predicted using hatch and retention numbers from two years previous. After several years of hunter and harvest numbers trending downward in Georgia, there was a small uptick in last season. In 2017, 50,694 hunters harvested 25,702 gobblers.
World of Warcraft Interview with technical director Marco Koegler | PC Invasion
Over the weekend IncGamers caught up with Marco Koegler, technical director for World of Warcraft. For this interview we invited along Dr. Andras Becht – he’s an economist, and he has a PhD so he’s really smart – and Dr. Dana Herrera, an anthropologist. They’re both from St. Mary’s College in the Bay Area and they had many, many questions to ask regarding Warlords of Draenor and WoW in general. Marco Koegler: Hi! My name is Marco Koegler, and I’m the technical director for World of Warcraft.
2017 Georgia Trophy Bucks - Game & Fish
Every autumn, thousands of Georgia hunters head for the woods in hopes of bagging a deer. While what is considered a trophy buck sits in the eye of the beholder, dozens of good bucks were taken last season, with a handful reaching the lofty 160 score that makes a Boone and Crockett buck. However, for most Peach State hunters, any buck scoring over 120 is a very nice trophy.
What Illinois Basketball Needs to Do to Beat the Penn State Nittany Lions
The Nittany Lions are always a tough out for the Illini, and for many teams. But this, dare I say, is a must win game. Yes, that phrase is overused by all of us. But if the Illini can pull off a win today they will not only have strung together a couple victories, but they will prove to themselves, and their fans, that they can prevail on the road. Believe it or not, as we prepare to enter February (the last full month of regular play) the Illini have not won a road game.
Illinois Basketball: An Open Letter to the Illinois Basketball Team
It pains me to write this letter to the Illinois basketball team, but after watching the game last night against Purdue, I feel compelled. What the hell is going on? I’m sure you aren’t oblivious to the chorus of voices calling for your coach’s head. That may not be fair and it might not even be the real problem. But everyone can tell that something is wrong. So, we the fans ask you, what is it? And more importantly, when are you going to figure it out?
Illinois Basketball: Will This Be a Jekyll and Hyde Season?
The Illinois basketball team squandered the chance for a December to Remember with an embarrassing route at the hands of Maryland. But they bounced back nicely defeating a good OSU team in Champaign. Not surprisingly many fans blame Groce for the poor play against the Terps. But the lack of passion and complete inability to control the game is a problem that doesn’t start and end with the coaching staff. Players cannot be fired, so fans understandably direct their ire at the top.
Illinois Basketball: Illini v. BYU, A Hot Take on Strategy
Can the Illinois basketball defense handle the high-octane firepower of BYU? While I expect a relatively high-scoring affair, I think this game comes down to who has the best defense, ultimately. As everyone who is paying attention knows, BYU scores a lot of points, currently averaging 85.8 points per game. That is No. 24 in the country.
Illinois Basketball: A Hot Take on the Illinois v. Central Michigan Game
But this cupcake has a razor blade in it. It appears likely that Tracy Abrams, Malcolm Hill, Leron Black, Jalen Coleman-Lands, and Mike Thorne Jr. will be starting for the Illini. I couldn’t agree more with that lineup. And that lineup can and should win. Here is how they need to do it. First, the Illini need to isolate and contain the razor blade that is Marcus Keene. Keene is one of the most dangerous players in college basketball.
Illinois Basketball: Illinois v. VCU: A Hot Take on Strategy
VCU arrives with a 6-1 record and brimming with confidence. This is how I think Illinois can do it. The Illini got absolutely steamrolled by West Virginia on Thanksgiving. The reason for this, as everyone who watched knows, was the Mountaineers relentless press. I have no doubt the Illinois coaching staff and players have been watching that tape to learn what went wrong. But, hopefully, they watched the Temple vs. WVU tape as well, to see how to handle the press correctly.
Illinois Basketball: Illini's Non-Conference Schedule Reviewed: Part 2 of 3
But after that, the Illini enter one of the toughest stretches of the entire season in its next four games. In my last piece, I reviewed the first five non-conference games. The Illini shouldn’t face significant competition until Winthrop, and even then, the Illini should prevail without too much fuss. They got off to a slow start on Friday but controlled the game from the end of the first half to the final buzzer.
Illinois Basketball: Illini's Non-Conference Schedule Reviewed: Part 1 of 3
The Illini play two exhibition games before regular season play. On October 30, the Illini play Washington University out of St. Louis. I think we all know Whitman had a big influence on that, seeing that he was AD there before Illinois hired him. Next, the Illini play Lewis University on November 4. Illinois finally starts regular season play on November 11 against Southwest Missouri State. This is the first of fourteen non-conference games.
Illinois Football: Weather for the Western Michigan Game
Lovie Smith and the Illinois Fighting Illini take the field on Saturday against a dangerous Broncos In addition to contending with the Broncos, the Illini might face some weather-based adversity too. The current forecast is for scattered thunderstorms and a cloudy high of 82 degrees. Adding to the discomfort will be humidity levels around 80%, according to most weather outlets. Late summer in central Illinois is no picnic. The Broncos won’t be a picnic either.
Illinois Football: Weather Forecast for the North Carolina Game
Despite the severe weather that passed through Champaign last night and earlier today, and a flash flood warning in effect as I write this, expect excellent weather this evening for the game. According to Accu Weather there should be clear skies and a temperature of about 70 degrees at kick-off. It might be a little breezy, but nothing that will impact the game.
Illinois Football: Breaking Down the Weather Against Murray State
There is nothing like the first Saturday of college football for the Illinois Fighting Illini, with tailgaters streaming in at 8a.m. and people firing up their grills. The smell of grilling meat, the sounds of fans laughing and talking, chants of I-L-L…I-N-I ringing out, live music in Grange Grove. So exciting! But there will be one thing missing from this ritual, and that is the hint of autumn in the air.
