Property of New Media Legal Publishing, Inc.
In times of social and political unrest, lawyers often join their fellow citizens in acts of civil disobedience to make their voices heard. But how do acts of civil disobedience by lawyers – committed both in and out of the court – square with their obligations under the ethics rules? This program provides guidance for lawyers who seek to counsel clients, participate in activities or litigate claims in support of controversial causes to ensure that they remain on the right side – and never the wrong side – of the ethics rules.
