COURSE DESCRIPTION

 

A genuine understanding of pertinent legal and regulatory standards is critical for ethics and compliance officers who seek to be effective. To help practitioners achieve this goal, the ECOA is pleased to offer a professional development online course, ECOA Law School, a first-of-its-kind program serving the ethics and compliance field. ECOA Law School provides a dynamic learning experience that focuses exclusively on the many U.S. and multinational areas of law and regulation that all ethics and compliance officers should understand. Those with little or no formal legal education are encouraged to attend, as are attorneys who never specialized, or are seeking a refresher, in the topics covered by the course.

 

Jeff Kaplan, a partner at Kaplan & Walker LLP with nearly 20 years of ethics and compliance experience, is the program director for ECOA Law School. Pre-class readings and study questions are assigned. In addition to an interactive presentation by the instructor, each class will include discussion focused on, among other things, application of the relevant legal principles directed to the work of ethics and compliance officers. 

COURSE AGENDA 

 

Each delivery of ECOA Law School features seven webcast sessions, running 90 minutes each, from 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET on Wednesdays. ECOA Law School provides ethics and compliance officers with a general foundation in and an understanding of current issues in the following subjects (faculty and dates subject to change):
