Ethics 201

1 hour TN Dual CLE

Ethical Dictates and Client Counseling: Commonly implicated rules of ethics, client counseling to decrease anxiety and create sustainable families, billing, client decisions, dog cases, and alternatives to litigation 

Litigation ethics and client counseling are common barriers to positive reputation building, which is also practice building. Properly establishing and then meeting clients’ expectations, and living up to your own moral standards, are both critical to finding this tough work meaningful. Disgruntled clients or shame about a lawyer’s own behavior take all the fun out of practicing law. Dawn plows all that fertile ground here. 

Also popular is the segment on options to help clients when their termination case isn’t strong enough to file. Lawyers and clients love never parting without good direction or an alternate plan. Law is far more gratifying when it is practiced as a helping profession.
