Description

This panel explored the concept of whether what has come to be called “inclusive language," including some of the examples referenced in Kelly Frickleton’s recent Kansas City Counselor article, is something that lawyers have an ethical duty to use under Rule 4-8.4 of the Missouri Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 8.4 of the Kansas Rules, or perhaps under some other provision. We explored not only the “whether,” but also the “why." We also explored the question of whether the imposition of any penalty on a lawyer for failing to use this language would be constitutional.

Featuring:

• Moderator: Karen Donnelly, Partner, Copilevitz Lam & Raney
• Ted Frank, Director of Litigation and Senior Attorney, Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute
• Kelly Frickleton, Associate, Bartimus Frickleton Robertson Rader P.C.
• Edward D. Greim, Partner, Graves Garrett LLC

Description

The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs returned the abortion question–whether and how to regulate abortion services–to the States.  Many states, including Missouri, now have laws on the books that restrict or prohibit abortion.  Dobbs doesn’t end the legal wrangling over abortion—it begins a new chapter that will unfold as litigation arises challenging these state laws.  What constitutional challenges could Missouri see to its legislation in coming months and years?

Featuring:

• Moderator: Barbara A. Smith, Partner and Co-Chair, Appellate and Supreme Court Group, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner
• J. Andrew Hirth, Founder, TGH Litigation LLC
• Jesus A. Osete, Attorney, Appellate and Supreme Court Group, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP
