Same as LAW 179P, Special Topics in In-House Practice.
This course will take a deep dive into several aspects of in-house practice, in part by using real world examples and case studies. Topics covered will include: the role of the modern General Counsel, whistleblowing, internal investigations, handling a media crisis, management skills and an ethical challenge pertinent to in-house counsel.
This course will be highly interactive with frequent breakout groups. There will be very little duplicative material with Exploring In-House Practice, also offered this semester.
