About us

TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE: The Professional Education Program at Northwestern Law has a strong history of developing and educating attorneys and counsel in the practical aspects of the law by providing opportunities to learn from academics, regulators and experts in the field. In 1936, with the establishment of the annual Short Course for Prosecuting Attorneys, Northwestern Law began what has become the oldest continuing legal education program in the country. PARTICIPANT DIVERSITY: Participants in our programs learn not only from the speakers and panelists, but from each other. Attendees come from around the country (and often around the world). They offer a functional mix of inside and outside counsel, government officials, and public and private sector professionals. In addition, the range of firm and company size assures you that your peers will be on hand to offer best practices, advice, and networking opportunities. RANGE OF EXPERTISE: Drawing from a range of national contacts, we seek out true experts in their fields to provide the most current information from a practical perspective. From practitioners, members of the bench, government officials, and academics, we draw those who not only make policy, but execute it. Learning from the best, you will understand why as well as how. PROGRAM HISTORY: The Corporate Counsel Institute was the first program of its kind to offer general counsel an opportunity to discuss the unique challenges faced by in-house counsel. The Institute was founded more than 44 years ago by David S. Ruder, Northwestern Law professor and former Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is a forum for discussion of current issues of substantive law and practical tools for the day to day practice of law within a corporation. The Securities Regulation Institute and the Ray Garrett Jr. Corporate and Securities Law Institute are two of the preeminent securities law programs offered in the country today.
