ETHICS SECTION MEETING

TOPIC: Ethics Under Fire: Judgment Calls in the Real World of Litigation

When deadlines hit the courtroom clock is ticking, ethical clarity can blur. This session examines real trial and discovery scenarios that test the limits of confidentiality, communication, and conduct. Participants will explore the gray zones where professional responsibility meets real-world pressure, from last minute filings and client data exposure to attorney directives that push procedural lines. Learn how to protect your client, your firm, and your professional standing when every second counts and the ethical path isn't always the easiest one to take.
