Program Description
 
To set the stage and get things rolling, our morning begins with a brief introduction and history of professionalism so that you will realize the impact it has on your legal practice.  Then begins the series of everyday scenarios in the typical life of a lawyer, demonstrating the trials and tribulations involved in your handling of ethical and professional dilemmas.  The most common and most difficult problem areas are covered, including the interaction between lawyers, clients and opposing counsel; bias issues; depositions; mentoring; client and counsel communication; and, of course, courtroom decorum.  To wrap-up your morning, you will be shown how professionalism and ethics are distinct concepts and also where they are inextricably intertwined.  The complete package will certainly raise the bar for your practice. 
 
This is one morning you cannot afford to miss. Mark your calendar today for this excellent program. We look forward to seeing you in November!
