Sarah Seo P'07, P*16 (Columbia Law School) is a legal historian of criminal law and procedure in the 20th-century United States. "Vicarious Criminal Responsibility at the Supreme Court and Nuremberg, 1946" juxtaposes Pinkerton v. United States and the Nuremberg trial, both decided in 1946, to make two main points. First, the comparison highlights the exceptionalism of American conspiracy doctrines; second, it posits that conspiracy charges played out differently at the Supreme Court and at Nuremberg because the United States and European civil-law countries had different approaches to state-building.
