Foreword: Twenty-Eighth Annual Corporate Law Symposium: Rethinking Compliance

Abstract

The University of Cincinnati College of Law devoted its 28th Annual Corporate Law Center Symposium to compliance. It was a timely choice, coinciding not only with an explosion of sector regulation in recent years but also with shifting market realities for legal employment and legal education. The contributions to this issue of the Cincinnati Law Review reflect an exuberant spirit that embraces, rather than shirks from, the challenges of these times. Collectively, the contributions rethink the implementation and teaching of compliance and advance specific recommendations on how to improve both. We will have to leave the debate over harmonizing compliance regimes to the comparativists. For now, this issue is a worthy start for re-conceptualizing compliance.
