About the Center for Banking and Finance
The Center for Banking and Finance was established at the UNC School of Law on July 1, 2000. The Center was created to recognize and further the important role of banking and finance to the economy of North Carolina as well as the leadership role played by North Carolina-based financial institutions in the continuing evolution of the financial services industry.
The Center studies the legal and policy issues related to banking and finance, advances the teaching of these important areas through the development of new teaching materials and a "Practitioners in Residence" program, and sponsors conferences for industry professionals. The 2012 Banking Institute is the sixteenth annual Banking Institute sponsored by the UNC School of Law. The Center is directed by Wachovia Term Professor of Banking and Finance Lissa Broome and guided by a distinguished board of advisors.
