"Fighting International Corruption and Bribery in the 21st Century" is the topic of the Cornell International Law Journal's Symposium 2000 at the Cornell Law School, Myron Taylor Hall, this Friday and Saturday, March 31 and April 1. The journal was launched in 1967 and is student-run, as is the conference.

The event begins with a keynote address by Robert Frank, Friday, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the MacDonald Moot Court Room of Myron Taylor Hall. Frank is the Goldwin Smith Professor of Economics, Ethics and Public Policy at Cornell's Johnson Graduate School of Management, the author of Luxury Fever and The Winner-Take-All Society and teaches a course on business ethics at the Johnson School.

On Saturday, three discussion panels are planned in which experts will debate the expanding scope of anti-corruption law, the plausibility of jurisdiction over foreign companies and nationals, the application of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the future of domestic and multilateral and anti-corruption efforts. Symposium participants are leading academics and practitioners in the field of international corruption and bribery. The discussions are free and open to the public. Those who are not able to attend may view two of the panel discussions via web cast at the journal's site, http://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/ilj. The site also provides details on the symposium, such as times and location of the panel discussions.

"The symposium and the subsequent publication of its proceedings should be of considerable academic value," said Brendan Kalb, a third-year law student and one of the organizers of the conference. "International corruption and bribery is a continued concern that corporations and governments must face as national boundaries become increasingly less rigid and transactions flow with little regard for the traditional boundaries of the state. We hope that the ideas and theories put forth at this symposium may help modernize the perception and fight against corruption and bribery across national borders."

The first panel, "Extraterritorial Jurisdiction: The Expanding Scope of Anti-Corruption Law," is in the MacDonald Moot Court Room, Myron Taylor Hall, 9-11 a.m. It focuses on the controversial issue of the extraterritorial jurisdiction imposed by supply-side anti-corruption laws. The second panel, "The Criminalization of Corporate Bribery: Effects, Justifications, and

Alternatives," 1:30-3:30 p.m., considers the impact of anti-corruption regulation on transnational corporations. The third panel, "Globalization and Multilateralization: Combating Corruption into the 21st Century," 4-6 p.m., focuses on the future of domestic and multilateral anti-corruption efforts. Panels two and three will take place in 115 Ives Hall, a distance-learning classroom.
