The American College of Trial Lawyers in conjunction with the New Jersey State Bar Association is proud to present this ultimate seminar on pre-trial and post-trial conduct.
As Justice Felix Frankfurter noted, “An attorney actively engaged in the conduct of a trial is not merely another citizen. He is an intimate and trusted and essential part of the machinery of justice, an ‘officer of the court’ in the most compelling sense.”
Join New Jersey colleagues who are Fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers as they present this interactive and insightful program. Using vignettes and hypotheticals, they will put forth dilemmas and discuss the optimal and most ethical ways to handle these scenarios. You will leave the program with a stronger understanding of ethical obligations but also be inspired by the aspirational principles that are meant to guide litigators in all aspects of their work as advocates of client interests. To quote Chief Justice Roberts, “The Code looks beyond the minimum ethical requirements that every lawyer must follow and instead identifies those practices that elevate the profession and contribute to fairness in the administration of justice.”
