A new year
brings with it a great opportunity to address ethical concerns, and to learn
about potential ethics issues that you may not be aware of, but that could
present concern. This CLE will cover several ethics topics that are often
overlooked, but that can result in lawyers facing
discipline.
We will talk about ethical
issues many lawyers might not be aware of that could present issues in your
daily practice, such as Rules of Professional Conduct: Rule 1.5(e) (Division of
Fees); Rule 1.16 (Declining or Terminating Representation); and Rules 5.1 and
5.3 (Supervision). We will learn about ways in which well-meaning lawyers still
end up with ethical difficulties and how a lawyer can better manage their
practice to avoid the concerns. We will discuss ways lawyers can protect
themselves in the new year including the importance of office procedures and
conflicts checking systems.
This CLE is approved for credit
through January 31, 2025.
