SUMMARY:Let's Get Ethical
DESCRIPTION:Legal ethics is a minefield for the unwary lawyer. The program will address common ethics issues that arise in handling consumer matters\, including whether one can ethically suggest that a client record telephone calls\, issues raised in representing multiple consumers against a single defendant\, defendants’ efforts to keep information and settlement terms confidential\, and ethical requirements when communicating with potential clients. In addition\, the program will address recent ethics opinions that may affect consumer-litigation on both an individual and a class basis. \n\nPresenter\nBrian L.
