The Greatest Legal Ethics Seminar Ever Taught, Featuring Jack Marshall and John May

Legal ethics CLE credits are useless unless they are meaningful. These three hours of instruction are specifically designed to stimulate the legal ethics instinct while illustrating the many tools that can and should be accessed when ethics problems appear: the rules, legal ethics opinions, court opinions, history, basic ethics principles, the lessons of history, literature, and popular culture, and most of all, personal character and common sense.

Legal ethicist, lawyer, and writer Jack Marshall reunites with legal malpractice and bar discipline specialist John May to lead attendees in an exploration of such issues as …

• Staying ethical with the unethical client
• Ethical handling of litigation surprises
• Confidentiality traps
• Conflicts-of-rules crises
• How to use technology without being destroyed by it
• Personal/professional conflicts
• The duty to warn
• Ethics trends in legal culture
• The unresolved professional-business breach
• Sexual harassment perils
• Zealous representation vs. the public good
• The special dilemmas of government lawyers and corporate general counsel

... And more.

COURSE SCHEDULE

*Includes a 15-minute break
