Instructor Bio:
Author and teacher Robert C. Worthington guides you through the perils of contract and purchasing law with clarity and humour. A former barrister and award-winning university lecturer, he has written and taught legal education courses for over 26 years, focusing on contract, competitive bidding and procurement law.

Bob wrote the first Canadian book on contract and purchasing law designed especially for procurement professionals, entitled the Purchasing Law Handbook. The two-volume desk-top reference, now in its second edition, is updated once annually. Bob’s second book, The Public Purchasing Law Handbook, is a companion text to the Purchasing Law Handbook, and covers issues pertinent to Municipal, Provincial and Federal Government purchasing and contract management. Bob’s newsletter, The Fine Print – Procurement Law Review, published every eight weeks, aims at helping supply and materials management professionals reduce their legal risk, improve their contracting and competitive bidding and stay up-to-date on the changing laws that affect their day-to-day business affairs. From time to time, he also writes articles for a number of national procurement industry publications, including Summit Magazine and Municipal World.
