The Ten Commandments for Avoiding Ethical Problems as a Lawyer
Far too often, legal ethics seminars are filled with convoluted hypos that demonstrate conflicts of interests and ethical dilemmas that will never occur in a world that has, say, gravity, centrifugal force or Oprah Winfrey. Yet, the truth of the matter is that legal ethics really isn't that complicated. There are very basic things that lawyers must do (and not do) to avoid disciplinary problems. In this presentation, Mr. Carter delivers a “sermon” on the Ten Commandments of avoiding ethical problems.

Substance abuse is a huge problem in the legal profession. Lawyers suffer among the highest rates of alcoholism and the highest rates of drug addiction.
In this presentation, Mr. Carter uses humor to help lawyers to:
- Identify the classic warning signs of substance abuse
- Help colleagues get the help they need
- Avoid much of the stress from which the problem often starts
