Why You Should Attend

Using a lively, interactive format, this program will examine everyday issues of ethics and professional responsibility in pro bono and public interest practice.

What You Will Learn

Using “all-new” hypotheticals covering different practice areas as the basis for discussion, topics to be discussed include: 

• Who is the client?
• Confidentiality, conflicts of interest and privilege
• Limited scope representation: how it works for firm and in–house counsel
• Representing clients with diminished capacity
• Representation of nonprofit organizations
• Providing remote legal services and remote supervision issues during Covid-19

Who Should Attend

All attorneys working in nonprofit organizations and legal service organizations, as well as those involved in pro bono practice in law firms and corporate legal departments.
