Abstract

This paper will present information on U.S. and European legislation that is used in criminal and civil cases that cross national borders, including human rights cases, white collar crime cases, and libel cases. Using data from the Federal Justice Statistics Program and other sources, trends on the number, characteristics, and outcomes of these cases will be discussed. The implications of these trends and of specific cases will also be explored.
