Why You Should Attend

Using a series of hypotheticals illustrating "real world" ethics issues that arise in pro bono and legal services representation, participants will learn to identify important ethics issues and apply best practices to avoid them. Practitioners must always be keenly aware of conflicts of interest issues, and these will be addressed throughout the program in various practice settings.

- Who is the client?

- Scope of representation: how limited scope representation works for law firm and in-house counsel
- Representing clients with diminished capacity
- Unauthorized representation
- Ethical issues related to language access
