<p><img style="float: right;" src="irl://2993//" alt="ACFE Logo" /><strong>Wilmington, DE &ndash;&nbsp;</strong>Delaware&nbsp;Law School will offer a new anti-fraud course this spring as part of its graduate-level legal training for students seeking career alternatives to the practice of law.</p>
<p>Fraud Examination will be taught by Christopher King, MS, CFE, CAMS and offered through the law school&rsquo;s Graduate, International, Compliance and Legal Studies programs in collaboration with the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.&nbsp; The three-credit course is ideal for students interested in careers that involve financial fraud investigation and examination. It will be available to those pursuing a master of jurisprudence &ndash; a legal master degree.</p>
<p>Students who enroll will be introduced to the practical methods of fraud examination, such as performing internal investigations, identifying&nbsp;internal fraud, detecting financial statement fraud, examining the inside of a &ldquo;fraudster&rsquo;s&rdquo; mind, determining asset misappropriation, performing a fraud examination, viewing the inside of a fraud trial, and locating hidden assets during the punishment phase.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Delaware Law offers graduate-level education for those seeking alternative legal careers.&nbsp; The master of jurisprudence, or MJ,&nbsp;program allows students with a bachelor&rsquo;s degree to obtain legal training and knowledge in areas such as corporate law and compliance.&nbsp;MJ graduates do not sit for a bar exam, but they are eligible to sit for an&nbsp;exam to become&nbsp;a certified compliance professional.&nbsp;MJ graduates&nbsp;often focus their careers on establishing a compliance and ethics program within an organization, and preventing financial&nbsp;fraud, waste, and abuse.&nbsp;Additional courses in the program cover topics such as&nbsp;introduction to the legal system, legal writing,&nbsp;white-collar crime, fraud regulations,&nbsp;and&nbsp;effective investigations.&nbsp;The MJ program culminates in a capstone course where students utilize the&nbsp;practical&nbsp;skills&nbsp;they have developed&nbsp;to create a compliance plan&nbsp;in their chosen industry.&nbsp;All courses are taught virtually by practicing legal compliance professionals. Delaware Law also offers a graduate certificate in corporate compliance education. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Students enrolled in at least six MJ course credits are eligible for a reduced student membership&nbsp;rate with the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.</p>
