The Federalist Society offers a unique opportunity to acquire one hour’s worth of ethics CLE credit.

Professional Responsibility experts will present on the following topics and answer questions from the call-in audience:

  • Hunter v. Virginia Bar (legal blogs as revealing confidences and possibly as improper advertising)
  • Celgard v. LG Chemicals (direct adversity conflicts and the bleed of that principle into material limitation conflicts)
  • Confidential communications with law firm in-house counsel to discuss issues, such as conflicts and duty to inform clients re: malpractice
  • Williams-Yulee v. Florida Bar (political involvement by judges and the scope of state regulation of judicial candidate fundraising)
  • Advertising by attorneys that conveys “judges like me best.”
  • The United States Department of Justice’s recent policy against allowing prosecutors to condition guilty pleas on waiver of ineffective assistance claims and other cases requiring prosecutors to protect rights of defendants.
  • W. William Hodes, The William Hodes Law Firm
  • Prof. Thomas D. Morgan, Oppenheim Professor Emeritus of Antitrust and Trade Regulation Law, George Washington University Law School
  • Prof. Ronald D. Rotunda, Doy & Dee Henley Chair and Distinguished Professor of Jurisprudence, Chapman University Dale E. Fowler School of Law
