Compliance into the Weeds: The Supreme Court and Compliance

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly take a deep dive, analyzing term-ending Supreme Court decisions from a compliance perspective.

They address the Jarkesy decision on SEC in-house tribunals, the Loper ruling overturning the Chevron deference doctrine, and the Snyder decision that narrows the scope of federal anti-corruption law. Despite the headlines, they conclude that these rulings have minimal direct impact on corporate compliance programs, emphasizing the ongoing importance of ethical integrity and effective compliance practices.

Key Highlights:

  • Supreme Court Cases Impacting Compliance
  • The Jarkesy Decision: Minimal Impact on Compliance
  • The Loper Case: Chevron Deference Overturned

2 Gurus Talk Compliance

2 Gurus Talk Compliance: Episode 27 – The Too Nice Edition

What happens when two top compliance commentators get together? They talk about compliance, of course. Join Tom Fox and Kristy Grant-Hart in 2 Gurus Talk Compliance as they discuss the latest compliance issues in this week’s episode!

In this episode, we discuss how far the US should push Europe when it comes to banning goods produced with forced labor, whether Canadians are just too darn nice when it comes to bribery, the Supreme Court’s review of when cash given to a US politician crosses from a thank-you gift to a bribe, and a Florida man’s notice to arresting officers that he’d be drinking his beer before being arrested because it’s cold.

The issue of forced labor, particularly in China, and its resultant goods has triggered a significant discourse between the US and Europe, highlighting the intricate connection between international trade and human rights. Tom argues for Europe to adopt stringent measures against forced labor like the US and credits his stand to his profound understanding of the extensive impact such a practice has on modern society. He advocates for a broad ban on goods linked to forced labor and is enthusiastic about the potential of a joint EU, US, and UK task force addressing the issue.

Kristy, with her focused view on the contrasting approaches of the US and Europe, agrees with the necessity of a robust response. She acknowledges the US’s advanced position in tackling forced labor challenges, appreciates the EU’s efforts to enact a similar ban, and supports the idea of a joint task force. She underlines the importance of preventing goods made from forced labor from entering the US via Europe.

 Highlights Include:

  • The fight against climate change reporting. (Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance)
  • Are Canadians too nice to fight ABC? (GAB)
  • What is the opposite of right for compliance? (COI Blog)
  • Between a rock and a hard place. (China Law Blog)
  • Are you shadow trading? (NYU Corporate and Enforcement Blog)
  • Europe Should Be Pushed to Take On Chinese Forced Labor, U.S. Lawmakers Say (WSJ)
  • Corruption or Just Politics? Supreme Court Weighs New Bribery Case as More Clashes Are Brewing (WSJ)
  • The Department of Justice Unveils Groundbreaking Pilot Program: Incentivizing Whistleblowers with Immunity (JDSUPRA)
  • From Gen Z to boomers: How to give critical feedback at work (Washington Post)
  • Florida man pops open beer during police encounter because it was ‘cold’ and he wanted to drink it (FOX 35 Orlando)
