This comprehensive guide is the only available collection and analysis of state RICO statutes. It covers all 30 states, as well as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, that have enacted RICO statutes based upon the federal statutes.
The opening chapter provides a quick overview of the federal RICO statute, emphasizing issues important to litigation under the state statutes. Each following chapter then analyzes the law in one state and includes the text of the state's statute.
The chapters are organized around familiar principles applicable to RICO litigation to reflect and clarify the similarities and differences among the statutory schemes and case law of the jurisdictions.
