In celebration of Pro Bono Month, this MCLE seminar, presented by SCCBA, SABA-NC and ACC-SFBA, is free to pro bono volunteers who sign up to staff two SABA legal clinics between October 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012.

Can overly aggressive courtroom tactics backfire? How should in-house and outside counsel handle their ethical and fiduciary responsibilities with respect to nonpublic information? How do you identify and effectively manage potential conflicts of interest between parties or between companies and their employees?

The Pro Bono Committees of the South Asian Bar Association of Northern California, the Santa Clara County Bar Association and the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel are pleased to co-sponsor a seminar that will offer insights on these thorny issues from both a seasoned litigator and a judge. This seminar will provide an overview of:

• Effective (and ineffective) courtroom tactics
• Ethical concerns for both in-house and outside counsel, including conflicts of interest in multi-party cases and between companies and their employees
• The use of confidential and nonpublic information

We will also be honoring all of our volunteers who have staffed the SABA-NC clinics during the past year, taken referrals, helped present our various "Know Your Rights" free legal seminars for the public, and otherwise helped to make the SABA-NC Pro Bono program a successful and reliable resource for the community.

SCCBA, SABA-NC and ACC-SFBA thank NetApp for hosting this seminar through the use of its conference facilities.
