The University of Toronto Faculty of Law is pleased to announce its Centre for the Legal Profession will launch a unique initiative called The Program on Ethics in Law and Business in 2013.
This innovative program, the first of its kind in North America, will address contemporary ethical challenges at the intersection of law and business. It will bring together key players to foster discussion and understanding about legal ethics and the corporation, including issues of an ethical nature that arise in complex corporate transactions.
“This program is fundamentally important to the development of our collective thinking on ethics at the intersection of law and business," says Dean Mayo Moran. "It will fill a gap on this issue that currently exists in both the academy and society at large and bring much needed attention to these pressing issues.”
Prof. Anita Anand is the academic director for this initiative. And the program’s advisory board is comprised of distinguished corporate and legal minds in this area, chaired by The Honourable Frank Iacobucci, senior counsel at Torys LLP.
An official launch will be held on Tuesday, March 5, 2013 from 4 pm to 7 pm at the Munk Centre, registration required. For more information, including upcoming workshops and events, please see www.clp.utoronto.ca or contact Prof. Anand at anita.anand@utoronto.ca.
