Compliance Tools and Resources

Welcome to the Corporate Compliance and Risk Research Guide, designed specifically for law students seeking to deepen their understanding of this dynamic and critical field. Corporate compliance involves ensuring that organizations adhere to legal, regulatory, and ethical standards, while risk management focuses on identifying, assessing, and mitigating threats to a company’s operations, reputation, and financial stability. This guide provides a curated selection of resources, both free and paid for through subscription. These resources often include, academic articles and practical tools to help you explore the intersection of law, business, and governance. Whether you are preparing for a class, writing a paper, or considering a career in compliance or corporate law, this guide will equip you with the foundational knowledge and research strategies needed to excel.

In order to use many of the tools in the guide, you will need access to Westlaw, Lexis, and Bloomberg Law. Please contact your friendly law librarian if you have lost access to these databases while in law school.
