A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of the September 2019 live seminar, 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.

He also represented attorneys in disciplinary matters before the D.C. Board of Professional Responsibility. His experience in this area includes service as a member, and subsequently as a chairman, of a hearing committee for the D.C.
