Ethics CLE Teleforum -- 2016: Recent Developments Impacting the Ethical Practice of Law

Click HERE for the CLE Sign-In Form.

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

Our panel of three experts in legal and judicial ethics will discuss several recent cases and regulatory developments in the field, with an eye to translating these developments into practical wisdom about their likely impact on law practice in 2016 and beyond.

Topics will include the American Bar Association's move to expand the scope of the regulation of race, gender and other harassment and discrimination into the practice of law generally, including law firm management; amendments to the rules of discovery to help reduce the gamesmanship now often infecting the process; the extent to which the Supreme Court's decision in the North Carolina Dentists case may foreshadow limitations on the ability of states to regulate the practice of law without running afoul of the antitrust laws; whether competent legal advice must include a business advice component in certain settings; and how the use of social media to complain about a sitting judge can cross the line into unethical conduct.

Featuring:

• Prof. W. William Hodes, Professor Emeritus of Law, Indiana University & President, The William Hodes Professional Corporation
• Prof. Thomas D. Morgan, Oppenheim Professor Emeritus of Antitrust and Trade Regulation Law, George Washington University Law School
• Prof. Ronald Rotunda, Doy & Dee Henley Chair and Distinguished Professor of Jurisprudence, Chapman University Dale E. Fowler School of Law

Call begins at 1:55 p.m. Eastern Time.
