The 28th annual FREE ethics program is now open for registration! This year's speaker is nationally acclaimed attorney Larry J. Cohen, a certified specialist in injury and wrongful death litigation who has focused his more than thirty-five years of law practice on serious medical injury and emotional damages cases. His program, “An Ethical Day at the Movies,” is a unique and entertaining presentation, encouraging you to think and talk about your dealings with clients, judges, third parties, and other lawyers. Using film clips, news footage, and excerpts from television and the media, the speaker will demonstrate lawyers at their ethical best and, at their worst, and will review what we can learn from them. Among the topics to be discussed include client communication, dabbling, civility, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Please be aware that due to the worsening pandemic, we are offering two presentations as live webinars only via Zoom and one presentation in-person only. Register online today to ensure you are signed up for your preferred date!
