Federal Dispute Resolution 2018

ATY10 | Legal Ethics Training (Room Canary 3-4)

Join a lively and provocative discussion of attorney legal ethics geared specifically for federal government lawyers. You’ll gain invaluable insights on how to determine who your client is, and how the attorney-client and work product privileges apply in federal practice. Thinking about going into private practice? Learn to identify the ethical traps you may encounter in your new role. Ms. Witkin and Mr. Broida will cover these topics through group discussion and using the ABA’s Model Rules of Professional Responsibility as guidance. They will also discuss new developments in legal ethics including technology competency requirements, dos and don’ts when using social media as a litigation tool, and the growing problem of substance and alcohol abuse in the profession.
