Please Help; I feel So Conflicted Right now!
Common Conflict Issues

Date: Wednesday, July 19, 2023
Time: Noon - 1 p.m.
Credits: 1.0 EP

Conflicts arise in a number of ways and are often the most challenging ethical issues virtually every lawyer will face: sometimes they arise from the representation of two or more clients or potential clients, sometimes they arise from the representation of a current client and a former client, sometimes they arise due to the lawyer’s own interests. This presentation will explore how conflicts arise, whether all conflicts can be waived, and whether a conflicted lawyer can be screened from a matter to allow a law firm to continue representation.
