Are lawyers working from home or living at work? The reality is that working remotely is difficult, and this presentation will explore lawyers’ ethical obligations under these circumstances. • How do lawyers competently represent our clients when the courts are open one day and closed the next, or when lawyers can’t get into their own office? • Do conflicts arise if the client wants to go to trial but the lawyer is concerned about health risks? • What are the ethical implications if a court tries to order a lawyer to trial? This presentation will advise lawyers on best practices to work remotely and competently while effectively representing clients during a pandemic. The next seminar in this series is at noon on Friday, August 14, on Sentencing Mitigation and Habeas. Can you chip in $10? $25? Any support appreciated. Donate here. Thank you. *** CLE Credit pending approval. The webinar will be recorded and available for purchase/CLE credit. *** |
