Description
Attorneys Are Not Accomplices: How to Avoid Crossing the Line from Counselor to Co-Conspirator
In this surprisingly funny webinar, legal humorist Sean Carter will use real-life disciplinary cases to demonstrate the myriad of ways in which lawyers have gone from counselor to co-conspirator in their efforts to serve the client. And even when lawyers don't run afoul of the criminal law and serve jail time, they are often forced to serve suspensions from the practice of law for ethical lapses involving:
- Assisting in client fraud
- Bribing judges, public officials and witnesses
- Fabricating, altering and deleting evidence
- Harboring fugitives
- Hiding their assets
- Lying for friends
- Providing unethical advice
- Smuggling contraband into jail for clients
- Suborning perjury
- Taking untenable legal positions
