Jessica Tillipman, associate dean for government procurement law studies, testified before the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Oversight & Investigations during a hearing on fraud in Medicare and Medicaid.
Dean Tillipman is a leading authority on public procurement, corruption, and the governance of artificial intelligence in the public sector, with a particular focus on integrity, compliance, and emerging technology risks in government contracting. Her testimony focused on how fraud is discussed in the United States and how that impacts the policy response.
Sarah Needham, visiting associate professor of law and Defense Industry Initiative (DII) fellow, and a group of students from Dean Tillipman's Anti-Corruption & Compliance Course joined her at the hearing.
Afterwards, the students met with GW Law Alumnus Will McAuliffe, chief counsel for the House's energy and commerce committee, to learn about what it is like to work win that role.
