The UNC Center for School Leadership Development, Chapel Hill, NC
CLE Credit: 4 Hours (3 PR and 1 SA)
The Dan K. Moore Program in Ethics is a well-regarded continuing legal education program sponsored annually by the UNC School of Law. This important program is dedicated to the exemplary legacy of professional ethics left to us by the distinguished life and work of Dan K. Moore, the esteemed former governor of North Carolina and a 1929 graduate of the UNC School of Law.
The program will address a variety of ethical issues of interest to corporate lawyers, both in-house counsel and attorneys in private practice. We will discuss particular issues that arise in the representation of corporations and how the attorney should proceed when he or she suspects wrongdoing within the corporation. The panel will also explain the variety of whistleblower statutes, including the relevant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Special attention will be focused on the impact of whistleblowing provisions on corporate compliance programs.
Each year during lunch, all tables will be asked to discuss their approach to an ethical problem that will be distributed at the program. This additional opportunity for discussion and interaction is a unique and popular aspect of this program. Our distinguished panelists draw on a wealth of experience in a variety of roles and contexts to provide expertise, advice and perspective on these important issues.
As was the case with prior programs, the discussion among the panelists is guaranteed to be lively and there will be ample opportunity for questions from and interchange with the audience.
This program provides continuing legal education credit, including ethics and substance abuse credit, and is aimed specifically at lawyers who regularly advise corporate clients.
