Item SKU: PULGAN09

On June 15, 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago issued a landmark ruling in an export control enforcement case. In its decision in U.S. v. Doli Syarief Pulungan, the court threw out the conviction of man charged with exporting USML riflescopes without a license because the government had failed to prove the scopes met military specifications. The far-reaching ramifications of this ruling are just beginning to be realized. The court’s opinion strikes at the heart of the government’s authority to declare which products are “defense articles” and puts new requirements on prosecutors to prove an exported item is subject to controls. This timely audio-conference briefing will provide you with a unique and thought-provoking examination of this case by three experts in export enforcement and criminal prosecution. Our speakers are former Assistant Attorney General for National Security J. Patrick Rowan who is now with McGuire Woods, Larry Christensen of Miller & Chevalier and Philip Rhoads of Rhoads & Reed. The program was held on Sept. 15, 2009. Order CD recording and PowerPoint from program
