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.

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.

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.
