A pre-recorded streaming video replay of the October 2018 webcast, Tom Spahn on Confidentiality: Clients’ Past and Ongoing Misconduct.
Topics Covered
Join nationally known ethics expert Tom Spahn for this informative and entertaining seminar.
This two-hour program will continue the exploration of one of our profession's core duties—maintaining client confidences. Specifically, the seminar will explore lawyers’ confidentiality and disclosure duties in the context of clients’ past or ongoing misconduct. Among other things, the program will address: lawyers’ possible duty to disclose clients’ past fraud on tribunals, or past misconduct in non-corporate and corporate settings; distinguishing between past and ongoing client misconduct (including fugitive clients); client crimes’ fruits and instrumentalities; lawyers’ silence which causes victims’ families anguish, or allows a wrongly convicted person to remain incarcerated; distinguishing between clients’ past and future misconduct.
Tom Spahn’s reputation as the expert on ethics is well deserved. What isn’t as evident from his résumé is how good he is as a lecturer: enlightening and engaging, yet always focused on relevant, real-world problems and their solutions.
If you’re a “regular” at Tom’s seminars, you’ll not want to miss this offering. If you haven’t attended his seminars before, join us to see what you have been missing.
