Ethical Challenges in Bringing Cases to Trial

Tuesday, May 13, 2008
4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.


Sponsored by: The Professional Liability Committee of the Litigation Section and the Criminal Law Section

Ethical obligations associated with trial preparation and trials are unique. It is important for attorneys to understand these obligations, and be able to navigate the potential ethical minefields that can arise. The experienced panel will address topics including the tension between zealous advocacy and ethical rules and obligations, as well as current rules regarding contacting former employees of party corporation.

Each of the speakers will not only highlight the ethical concerns, but provide practical tips to guide you in avoiding the following potential issues:

  • The dishonest client and candor toward the tribunal
  • The limits of zealous representation
  • Dealing with unrepresented parties and former employees
  • Double trouble: bar discipline and professional liability
  • Navigating an ethical pathway through automatic disclosure and e-discovery
This seminar will fulfill your ethics credit requirements for the year!
