Key Summary

    About: The J.D. Concentration in Corporate Compliance focuses on providing students with knowledge and skills for navigating legal aspects of corporate governance, risk management, and regulatory compliance. This program equips you with a thorough understanding of laws and regulations affecting businesses, preparing you for dynamic challenges in the corporate world.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue careers as compliance officers, corporate counsel, risk managers, or regulatory analysts in various sectors, ensuring organizations adhere to legal standards and mitigate risks.

Students enrolled in the Corporate Compliance Concentration will receive instruction and training to prepare them for practices that focus on or involve compliance work. Although the Concentration focuses on financial industry compliance, it encompasses other areas of compliance that are commonly encountered by corporate lawyers/lawyers representing corporate clients.

Professors Juliana Campagna, J. Scott Colesanti, and Ronald J. Colombo serve as faculty concentration advisors for this Concentration.

Guidance from a student’s concentration faculty advisor is an important element of successful completion of the Concentration. A concentration faculty advisor must approve a student’s enrollment in the Concentration. Students should meet with their advisor as soon as they find themselves interested in the Concentration, but in no event later than the course selection deadline for their fourth semester of study (or fifth semester of study for part-time students). An advisor may permit a student to enroll in the Concentration at a later date, but only after determining that the student can realistically meet the requirements of the Concentration prior to graduation.
