Whether you are a lawyer defending a professional in disciplinary proceedings, or represent a regulator, you need a thorough and current understanding of substantive law, procedure and the strategic considerations that govern this area. This perennially successful OsgoodePD program gives you the tools, fully updated for 2021.

Professional discipline hearings are serious matters. For the professional, years of education, experience, reputation and livelihood are all on the line. For the licensing body and its counsel, there’s pressure to vigorously protect the public interest and to respond to allegations of misconduct, incompetence or incapacity in a fair, effective and timely manner. 

Registration includes 120-day unlimited, online access to the recorded program.
