LAW 2504 - Law and Role of In-House Counsel
This course will examine the role of in-house counsel. The analysis will include the practical roles and responsibilities of in-house lawyers in providing advice and counsel to organizations on a daily basis. We will examine planning for compliance with a variety of ambiguous and sometime conflicting laws, including criminal laws, regulations, civil laws (e.g., governance, copyright, patent, and tort laws), and quasi-laws (such as self regulatory and standards organizations). We will review how to investigate and advise when faced with incidents of non-compliance. We will also examine the ethical professional responsibilities of in-house counsel, including “Upjohn” warnings, in-house counsel’s rights and responsibilities both while employed and when changing jobs, and whistleblowing.
