Witness the intersection of corrupt activities and environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns play out in the courtroom at the IBA Criminal Law Section’s annual mock trial. As is now tradition, the mock trial will showcase the hearing and resolution of a corruption case involving individual and corporate defendants in the public and private sectors through IBA members acting out a real-life case study.
