Ethics and the Government Lawyer 2009: Hot Topics and Issues

Monday, June 22, 2009 5:30 PM to 8:45 PM

Description: In recent years, media and public attention have sharply focused on the ethics of prosecutors and government attorneys. The traditional reluctance to subject government attorneys to bar discipline is evaporating nationwide, making it more important than ever to know what the Rules of Professional Conduct require… even though they often fit imperfectly with the special circumstances of government practice. This up-to-date class will help you sharpen your ethical analysis skills and increase your sensitivity to lurking ethical problems. You will examine recent legal ethics developments as they apply to government practice, using interactive hypothetical scenarios and discussions of current cases.

Cost for government lawyers is $89.00.
