JAMES SCOTT has
developed
a “niche” over the years of teaching full day courses that allow a subject
matter to be explored in great detail. He attempts to take a very dry subject
matter and make it more interesting by talking about the theory behind the
regulatory requirements. Class-wide discussion is always an important part of
his seminars. Though he more often teaches full day seminars, he is able to
provide shorter seminars upon request, or combine shorter seminars together to
create a full day course if so desired. Typical subjects that he teaches are
listed below.
