SYLLABUS

Anti-Money Laundering - LLM 106

Traditionally Taught by: Professor Robert Munro, PhD

1.        COURSE DESCRIPTION

Anti-Money Laundering Legislation : Global Anti-Money Laundering provides an in-depth comparative study of U.S. and foreign national legal responses and international responses to the problems of money laundering, economic crime, cyber-sabotage and terrorism.  A comparative survey of major countries, i.e., United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Canada, is undertaken.  Issues include the history of financial crimes and their regulation, methods of money laundering, the interaction of organized crime groups and economic crime, the uses and abuses of offshore financial centers, cyber-sabotage, the U.S. law of money laundering and asset forfeiture with particular focus on the recent USA Patriot Act and international configurations.  Thus, the course is an analysis of the international regulation of money movements.  The student also learns the increasing role that the tax counsel plays in compliance, due diligence investigations and the consequent civil and criminal liabilities and ethical questions.   

This course is taught by Professor Dr. Robert J. Munro.  He is the co-author of the five-volume treatise, Money Laundering, Asset Forfeiture and International Financial Crimes and the three-volume treatise, Cyber crime and Security.  Dr. Munro is the Co-Director of the Center for International Financial Crimes Studies of the Fredric Levin College of Law of the University of Florida.  Besides the final examination, this course uses common law case examination, complex case studies, individual assignments and a research course paper.

VIII.   RECOMMENDED REFERENCE MATERIAL

            See syllabus below.

IX.        GRADES

            Grades will not be available until three weeks after the last day of exams and will be mailed to you by the University Registrar at your address of record.  (Please notify the Registrar’s Office of any changes.)  Students should not request their grades prior to this time from the professor, faculty members, or Law School staff.

X.      ATTENDANCE

This is a online seminar course and, attendance at the weekly online sessions is mandatory.  Should a student show a pattern of missing weekly online discussion with the professor, this may be reported to the Associate Dean and may be taken into consideration in the student’s grade.

XI.     ACADEMIC HONESTY

            Students are expected to demonstrate high standards of ethics in their dealing with each other, their relationships with the professor, faculty, and staff members, and in their approach to the study of law.

XIII.      INCOMPLETE GRADES

            An incomplete grade “I” may not be given for this course, except for serious physical illness, extreme emergencies, or for other similar reasons.  Students have a duty to inform the professor of such problems when they arise.  The press of academic requirements is not a sufficient excuse.  Regulations concerning the administration of incomplete grades appear in the University catalogue.  A higher standard may be expected of work when an “I” is requested.

XIII.   STUDENT FEEDBACK

            Teaching should also be a learning experience, and the professor is willing to entertain comments and suggestions from Directed Research participants.  While the Law School typically supplies a written evaluation form at the end of the course allowing (anonymous) comments on content and teaching style, the professor more properly values criticism from known sources.
