Ethics missteps discussed in State Bar podcast
Attorneys often face complicated ethical questions and consequences for making missteps — even if their unethical actions are unintentional.
In the September episode of MiLawyer Podcast, Erica Lemanski, a partner at Mogill, Lemanski, & Gerometta PLLC, discusses how seemingly innocent decisions can quickly turn into ethical violations for legal professionals.
She also shares some steps attorneys can take to help defend themselves if their behavior is ever called into question.
The discussion also talks about why prioritizing mental health, having the right support system, and setting healthy boundaries can help protect attorneys from making the mistakes that can lead to discipline.
The State Bar of Michigan produces MiLawyer Podcast as a tool to help Michigan attorneys improve their practice and protect their well-being.
The podcast is hosted by Molly Ranns, the director of SBM’s Lawyer & Judges Assistance Program, and Savanna Polimeni, SBM’s practice management counsel.
Current and past episodes are available at michbar.org/Podcast.
