This post again comes to us from friend-of-the BLPB Nadia B. Ahmad. Her offering is in the tradition of similar posts published by my co-bloggers in the past that focus on videos that can be used in teaching various topics relevant to business law. I remember this post, for example, by Marcia Narine Weldon on blockchain teaching resources. Again, thanks to Nadia for contributing to our knowledge and our blog. I hope that others will be encouraged to offer suggestions in the comments below about other helpful online video resources that they know about.
Below is a list of online video resources for business law related topics.

- PanamaPapers – The Shady World of Offshore Companies(55 minutes)
For decades, presidents, drug smugglers and criminals have used a Panamanian law firm to hide their accounts and valuables. This is revealed in documents reviewed by media partners around the world, including NDR and WDR. A total of 370 journalists from 78 countries evaluated around 11.5 million documents in the course of their reporting on the “PanamaPapers.” An anonymous source provided the data to Germany’s Süddeutsche Zeitung.
