Abstract

The Gibson Guitar Corporation, based in Tennessee, was raided by federal agents twice for importing prohibited wood products. The raids, especially the second, attracted much public attention and have even led to calls from some members of Congress for a change. The case examines the Lacey Act, the allegations of wrongdoing, and the question of trade and domestic job creation at the expense of environmental stewardship.
