Amending the Federal Rules - 1-1/2 units - December 8, 2015

Amending the Federal Rules: Intended and Unintended Consequences

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure will be amended as of December 1, 2015.  These Amendments are intended to, among other things, clarify the scope of discovery, emphasize cooperation and proportionality in discovery, and establish a uniform approach to remedies for the loss of electronically stored information (“ESI”).

The Amendments are of the utmost importance to anyone who practices in the federal courts.  The intent of the Amendments as described above will affect the litigation strategy of every attorney and will require attorneys to “stop and think” when they serve or respond to discovery requests or engage in discovery disputes.  Likewise, a uniform approach to remedies for the loss of ESI should bring predictability for attorneys who have a multistate practice.

The Amendments are expected to reduce the cost and delay associated with litigation in the United States courts.  This should assist parties – individuals, business entities, and government agencies – in deciding whether to litigate and in understanding and monitoring litigation related costs and delays.

Educational Objectives:
• Recognize the proper scope of discovery under the Amendments
• Appreciate how the Amendments should promote cooperation between parties and proportionality in discovery
• Understand the “new” approach to sanctions or remedial measures when ESI is lost
• Demonstrate that the Amendments may have consequences that go beyond those that are intended

Social Media and Ethics - December 10, 2015

If You’re Not on Facebook You’re Committing Malpractice

Sponsored by Avvo Ignite


Can you imagine cross-examining a witness about a telephone call if you’d never used a telephone before? It sounds ridiculous, but that’s precisely where many attorneys find themselves today when it comes to social media. With most of the population now using one or more of these tools to communicate, it’s increasingly dangerous for attorneys to blithely ignore social media and other developing technologies.
Lawyers who attend this webinar will learn about:
  • The growing number of ethics opinions addressing social media, and the obligation of attorneys to be familiar with them.
  • How to think about counseling clients on use of social media during a pending matter — and the attorney’s own use.
  • The intersection between competency requirements and changes in law office technology.

Lateral Hires and Partner Withdrawals - 1-1/2 units Ethics - December 17, 2015

Lawyer Mobility: Ethical Issues Arising from Lateral Hires, Partner, Withdrawals and Law Firm Dissolutions

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA

Lawyers and law firms face many issues when lawyers join or leave a firm or when a law firm dissolves, including ethical obligations to the firm’s clients. These issues include client notification obligations and options, the client’s right to choose counsel, maintaining the confidentiality of information and files, how to address conflicts, and the duty of loyalty owed to current clients.

Professional rules, ethical opinions and case law provide guidance to lawyers and law firms in these situations, but there are many situations that do not fit neatly into the rules themselves. The experienced faculty presenting this program will provide guidance on how to navigate the waters when lawyers voluntarily or involuntarily change firms and when law firms dissolve.


Educational Objectives:
• Learn what ethical obligations lawyers have when planning to leave a firm and join another.
• Understand the requirements for client notification when a lawyer is changing firms and the obligation to allow the client a choice of counsel.
• Hear a review of the ethical rules that govern how to handle client files when a lawyer changes firms.
• Discover the ethical obligations owed to a firm’s current clients at the time of dissolution, including the need to protect against client abandonment.
• Find out how to identify and manage actual or potential conflicts of interest.
