The Morin Center for Banking and Financial Law
The Morin Center for Banking and Financial Law was founded in 1978 to develop research and educational programs in the areas of law governing and relating to banking and financial services. The Morin Center’s mission is to provide, within BU Law, an organization for encouraging, managing and recognizing education and research in the field of banking and financial services law. The Morin Center reflects the international aspects of financial services in its work, seeks to marry academic excellence with practical application and fosters a community of scholarship and dialog on legal issues critical to the financial community.
The work of the Morin Center is four-fold:
- Administering the Graduate Program in Banking and Financial Law, the first of its kind in the United States
- Publishing the Review of Banking & Financial Law
- Conducting continuing legal education programs, seminars and symposia with the American Bar Association, the Boston Bar Association and the Financial Services Roundtable.
- Contributing to the academic and scholarly life of Boston University through the Edward Lane-Reticker Speaker Series, Financial Services and Student Lecture Series and other academic activities focusing on banking and financial services law.
The Center’s name reflects the generosity of Charles Morin of Washington D.C., a member of the Boston University School of Law Class of 1949 and an original member of the Center’s Board of Advisors.
