‘Legal Ethics Roundup 2023’ offered online Dec. 28


American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education will present the webcast “Legal Ethics Roundup 2023: Current Developments For Every Attorney” on Thursday, December 28, from noon to 1 p.m.

This webcast explores a wide variety of ethics issues impacting lawyers in any practice area and any work setting. It looks at what has regulators’ attention, highlights the latest developments, offers real-world examples and up-to-date advice on how today’s courts and disciplinary authorities are interpreting the rules of professional conduct, and examines how the rules are being used in claims against attorneys.

Taught by two industry-leading attorneys whose practices focus on ethics and professional responsibility, this program doesn’t go in-depth, but rather takes a rapid-fire approach to briefly highlighting evolving – and sometimes newsworthy – legal ethics issues attorneys need to know. Topics include:

• Conflicts of interest and advance waivers of conflicts of interest

• Supervision of non-lawyers

• Deception in investigations

• Contact with represented persons

• Dealing with privileged and confidential documents

• AI and legal ethics

• Lawyer cybersecurity

• ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.9, 1.16, 4.1, 4.2, 5.3, 8.4(c)

Faculty questions will be answered by email within two business days.

Cost for the webcast is $199. To register, visit www.ali-cle.org.
