Why Attend?

Legal ethics CLE has never been more challenging or stimulating than in this 3-hour course, team taught by two dynamic and unorthodox lawyer-ethicists. The program will sharpen legal ethics problem detection skills, bring attendees up to date on developing changes, shifting approaches, and looming perils in legal ethics in Virginia and other jurisdictions, and also bring fascinating legal ethics problems into focus through lively debate.

The course will …

Explore how much personal judgment and legal ethics perspective is required of each practitioner
Dramatically show how essential it is to keep up with new developments, and have quick access to authorities and assistance when unexpected dilemmas surface
Focus on common legal ethics problems that have proved resistant to efforts to resolve them, leaving practitioners vulnerable
Provide an instant tune-up for Virginia lawyers ethics problem-solving skills

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.
