Ethics 2024 - February 15, 2024

 Ethics 2024: Questions from the Trenches

Sponsored by Clifford Law Offices

Clifford Law Offices turned to practicing lawyers — the lawyers in the trenches — and we asked them what’s on their minds in the area of lawyer ethics. What problems do they see day in and day out? And we listened. The 2024 all-star panel will address hypotheticals and ethical issues that came from you. They will discuss issues from the revised IOLTA account rules to double billing issues.

Kevin L. Hopkins Brody-O’Neill Endowed Faculty Scholar University of Illinois Chicago School of Law

Hon. Mary Cay Marubio Acting Presiding Judge, Pretrial Division Circuit Court of Cook County

Total Credits:  2.00 hours Professional Responsibility (Illinois)

Although Illinois has MCLE reciprocity with California, I am not sure if this program qualifies.
