On Tuesday, January 18, University of St. Thomas law professor Hank Shea will speak to first-year law students about legal ethics and white collar crime through the law school’s winter term Lawyering, Leadership, & Professionalism course.
Shea, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney who specialized in white collar crime, will explore the decision-making process of criminals whose actions range from embezzling money and forging signatures, to failing to report the illegal actions of colleagues.
Shea’s presentation will draw on video monologues featuring white-collar offenders, many of whom he prosecuted.
At St. Thomas University School of Law, Shea serves as Senior Distinguished Fellow and as a Fellow at The Holloran Center for Ethical Leadership in the Professions.
The January 18 class for Lawyering, Leadership, & Professionalism begins at 8:30 a.m. Shea’s presentation will take place later in the day, as part of the course for all first-year law students at Elon.
