Description

The Coronavirus is causing upheaval in society and that includes the practice of law. So where do lawyers get direction about how to navigate the topic? Last year the ABA issued an ethics opinion that explained lawyers’ responsibility during a natural disaster…and much of that direction is applicable to the Coronavirus disruption.

Join the CLE Performer Stuart Teicher as he helps navigate the dangers the Coronavirus is causing in the practice of law…and examines the ethical implications in the process (Rules 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, ABA Opinion 482).

This program was recorded on March 12th, 2020.
