Abstract

This Article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of implementing an effective compliance program. It then discusses the specific elements that the Guidelines require for a sentencing court to find a compliance program effective and thus entitled to credit as a mitigating factor in the sentencing process. Finally, the Article sets forth a basic framework for establishing a compliance program that will satisfy the Guidelines' requirements.
