Program Description
Our prior audiences have posed ethics questions and hypotheticals that will serve as the framework for this fast paced and engaging discussion. The panelists with their diverse practice areas in criminal, domestic, and civil practices will cover previously asked but unanswered questions, an analysis of the relevant rules of professional conduct, and a discussion of their practical application. This presentation is suited for a wide audience as participants will gain a broad refresher on the rules applicable to every practicing attorney.
