Professor Gerry Ferguson’s course Global Corruption: Law, Theory and Practice, which he’s teaching this fall at the University of Victoria, marks two firsts: it’s the first course on anti-corruption at a Canadian law school, and he’ll be teaching from the first coursebook focused on the law of anti-corruption available globally – a book in which the CBA’s Anti-Corruption Team played a key role.
Professor Gerry Ferguson’s course Global Corruption: Law, Theory and Practice, which he’s teaching this fall at the University of Victoria, marks two firsts: it’s the first course on anti-corruption at a Canadian law school, and he’ll be teaching from the first coursebook focused on the law of anti-corruption available globally.
Members of the CBA’s Anti-Corruption Team acted as reviewers for the book, particularly on the chapter regarding the lawyer’s role in anti-corruption enforcement, and will be acknowledged on the title page.
The coursebook will be available for public download through the UNODC website for free and will be available on the Anti-Corruption Team website once it is published (mid-late September).
Through this project, the CBA has welcomed the opportunity to be part of educating students and lawyers on an emerging area of law. It is also just the beginning of potentially working with a national university network to further design and provide courses on this topic for law students.
Don’t’ hesitate to contact staff lawyer Noah Arshinoff (noaha@cba.org) if you have any questions about the coursebook or about the CBA’s efforts on anti-corruption.
