Exploring the Rules of Professional Conduct (RPC) and recent landmark Supreme Court decisions is a serious obligation, but it does not have to be a dry exercise. Register today for this essential program to tap into the latest strategies you need to know from some of the state's leading experts, so that you can confidently navigate even the most complex matters that come your way. As an attendee, you will learn the practical lessons hidden within headline cases like the Murdaugh murder trial, and how to apply them to get the best results in the matters you handle. Our panel will also share how to navigate ethical predicaments through an interactive game show format, where you will weigh the facts against the model rules and decide whether to take a settlement or risk a hearing.
Beyond the interactive ethics challenges, the panel will detail how recent Supreme Court rulings apply to your everyday practice. You will learn the facts, holdings and reasoning behind the latest landmark decisions, so you can take on challenging constitutional issues with confidence. By analyzing scenes from legal movies and lawsuits like Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard, you will come away with the strategies you need to address complex ethical dilemmas and expand your litigation practice.
