The California Club
Los Angeles
The Institute for Corporate Counsel is the premier Los Angeles conference for in-house and outside counsel and those who advise them. The Institute brings together over 500 professionals annually, including in-house counsel, outside attorneys, corporate officers and directors, accountants, consultants, compliance officers, financial planners, HR professionals, investors, librarians, legal technology specialists, litigation support professionals, public relations professionals, and legal assistants.
The day-long Institute focuses on the intersection of law, business and politics. The Institute provides a venue for our panelists and participants to better understand Los Angeles' evolving business environment, as well as best practices and changes in the law which can impact business operations. The Institute provides current information, legal guidelines, and practical advice which can be immediately put into practice in an in-house legal department or law firm. The Institute provides meaningful opportunities to interact with in-house counsel, including a luncheon, networking refreshment breaks and hosted cocktail reception. CE units for lawyers and accountants will be available.
Highlights of the 2019 Institute include:
- Phillip Washington (LA Metro CEO) on the future of Los Angeles as a global metropolis.
- Justice Joshua Groban (California Supreme Court) on challenges facing the Supreme Court of our nation’s largest and most dynamic state.

About the ICC
The Institute for Corporate Counsel® (the "ICC") is a 501(c)(3) organization that operates in collaboration with USC Gould School of Law and the Los Angeles County Bar Association's Business Law Section. The ICC's Board of Governors includes members chosen by USC Gould and the Business Law Section, as well as at-large selections. When planning the annual Institute, the ICC's Board of Governors relies on the valuable input of the ICC's Advisory Board regarding prospective speakers and topics and on the ICC's Emeriti Governors as a source of historic perspective. A list of the Advisory Board members is available by clicking here, and a list of Emeriti Governors is available by clicking here.
Institute for Corporate Counsel/Dean Jerry Wiley Scholarship
Dean Jerry Wiley served as chief administrative officer of the USC Law School for nearly thirty years. In late 1997, the Institute's Board of Governors established the Institute for Corporate Counsel/Dean Jerry Wiley Scholarship by providing an endowment to fund student scholarships. Two scholarships are awarded each academic year to qualified students from USC Gould who have demonstrated an interest in business law and with high scholastic achievement in business law courses.
In 2015, the ICC's Board furthered their commitment to scholarships by donating an additional $25,000 to the Fund so more worthy students such as these can benefit in future years.
