Annual Ethics Program: 20/20 Hindsight
Thursday, November 19, 2020
12-2 pm (ET) / 11-1 pm (CT) / 9-11 am (PT)
Please note: this is a repeat presentation of the program presented on October 29 in conjunction with the ACC. You will not receive credit for this program if you received credit for that presentation.
“Hindsight is 20/20” encapsulates the idea that things are easier to see or understand after they have already happened. 20/20 hindsight will be the theme of this ethics CLE, which will include looking back with 20/20 hindsight on things that got lawyers into trouble and looking back over the year 2020 and how its extraordinary events intersect with lawyer ethical obligations. With the benefit of hindsight, this CLE will address:
- Lawyers in trouble in the headlines and the related ethics issues;
- Ethics issues underlying 3 of the top causes of loss according to lawyer malpractice insurers (mistakes, fraud and misrepresentation, and conflicts of interest);
- Ethics issues at the forefront of the pandemic (teleworking, confidentiality, and UPL issues); and
- Ethical obligations considered relative to the social justice movements (harassment and discrimination as misconduct and pro bono obligations).
This program will be led by partner and deputy general counsel, Kelly Faglioni.
