Program Description:

Changes in the way law is practiced, a difficult legal economy that can create disputes between lawyers and their clients, and the unstoppable spread of technology have created a range of new ethical issues for lawyers. As these changes permeate law practice, lawyers find themselves confronting gray areas about how the old rules apply to new fact patterns. This annual program will provide you with a wide-ranging discussion of ethical developments in the context of changes to law practice, including notable developments in conflicts of interest, confidentiality and the attorney-client privilege, ethics in co-counsel and referral relationships, the use of social media by lawyers and more.
