Richard M. Cooper Retires As Chairman

By ALM Staff | Law Journal Newsletters |
June 28, 2007

With this issue, Richard M. Cooper retires as Chairman of the Board of Editors of Business Crimes Bulletin. Cooper, a Rhodes Scholar who began his legal career as law clerk to Supreme Court Justice William Brennan and later served as Chief Counsel of the Food and Drug Administration (1977-79), was an original Board member, appointed in 1994 by the Bulletin's founder, Jed S. Rakoff (now U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York), whom Cooper succeeded as Chairman in 1996 after Judge Rakoff was named to the bench. Despite
Cooper's busy schedule as a litigation

partner at Williams & Connolly in Washington, DC, he always found time to recruit new Board members and encourage old ones with an eye for the high-quality articles they contribute to this newsletter. Cooper's own articles have appeared twice a year throughout his tenure, beginning in March 1994 with 'Corporate Regulatory Crimes and the Sentencing Revolution.' We look forward to another Richard Cooper article later this year. Our readers, Board members and staff have benefited greatly from his contributions and support.
