Georgetown Law Programs

This seminar provides an opportunity to discuss in depth key issues in securities regulation, including the current regulatory and enforcement actions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), how regulatory decisions are made, the economic and other foundations of SEC and PCAOB regulation, and the operation and impact of the SEC`s Supervision and Enforcement Program regulations during the recent financial crisis. Guest speakers include members and senior officials from the SEC and PCAOB, as well as experienced securities practitioners. The law on access to health care has been drafted and has been the subject of litigation in recent years. This course will explore U.S. health care access and financing programs, including private employment-based insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and VA. The course will also explore the adoption, implementation, and litigation of the Affordable Care Act. In addition to these payment systems, the course also addresses laws that affect incomplete systems such as emergency departments, public hospitals, and community health centers. No prior knowledge of health law is required. Note: This course is open to Young Women students only. THIS COURSE REQUIRES THE TEACHER`S PERMISSION TO REGISTER. Students must submit a CV and expression of interest for the course to Professor Christina Mathieson Hughes (cm1855@georgetown.edu) by June 9, 2021 at 5:00 p.m.

After the application deadline on 9. In June, students are continuously accepted in open spaces. Each student who is offered a place in this course is enrolled directly and has only one week to descend. After this time, a student may only withdraw from the course with the permission of the professor and the Vice-Dean of Experiential Education. Permission is granted only if staying in the internship causes considerable difficulties to the student. In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic, which caused even greater human suffering, triggered economic and financial consequences that almost led to a new financial crisis. The reforms implemented after 2008, as well as the implementation of the emergency programmes put in place in 2008, were probably the reasons why we did not experience another financial crisis. With one of the most comprehensive graduate programs in the world, Georgetown Law allows you to design the program you want. Here you can: By the end of the course, students will have gained an understanding of these crimes that the international community generally accepts (and does not accept) as corruption – and why there continues to be debate on this important definitional issue.

You will also gain insight into the political and economic circumstances that typically lead to corruption and the crippling impact this problem can have on society. In terms of designing and implementing an anti-corruption strategy, students will learn key elements of key anti-corruption conventions and international best practices, including the United Nations Convention against Corruption. They will have sufficient knowledge to discuss in depth the effectiveness and limitations of these instruments, taking into account the importance of the national policy environment. Students gain a better understanding of these issues through in-depth case studies of corruption reform efforts, including in the context of IMF-supported programs. To this end, students have the opportunity to discuss past and ongoing IMF reform cases. Note: This internship course is open to LL.M. students, space permitting. Interested LL.M. students should email the Office of the Registrar (lawreg@georgetown.edu) to apply for admission. The course is divided into smaller modules and students are required to complete several individual and group assignments during the semester, which count towards their grade. The course has been redesigned to accommodate the hybrid version of the teaching Georgetown plans for the fall. Do not hesitate to contact me at pt96@law.georgetown.edu with your questions.

We look forward to seeing you in the fall! The JD Externship program uses Canvas to handle this course, so convenience with this platform is essential. All course materials will be published on your seminar canvas page. You upload all tasks via Canvas and use the «Tasks» drop-down list for your seminar. If you have difficulty navigating Canvas and/or need a reminder about your use of the Site, please contact IST at lawhelp@georgetown.edu. Foreign-educated students who wish to design their own studies with samples from different fields can choose the LL.M. in General or International Legal Studies, both of which offer great flexibility. Several programs are available for students who wish to specialize. In practice, these global and ever-increasing litigation trends are also challenging traditional corporate social responsibility (CSR) and ethics programs that have been associated with a combination of philanthropy, corporate citizenship, and corporate-sponsored activities that give back to corporations.
