Practicing law is like walking in a minefield. Any number of missteps can result in you being reprimanded, suspended or worse, disbarred. This course will give you the confidence to represent your clients vigorously while keeping within the confines of the New Jersey Rules of Professional Conduct. You’ve worked hard to earn your law license – this webinar will help you safeguard it and maintain your good standing.
Register today to learn what to watch out for, including the more common ways that your actions (or inactions) can have serious consequences for your practice and your clients.
Discover what you need to know to avoid being reprimanded or worse, including:
- Ensuring competency in using AI and other technologies
- Proper personal behavior and conduct
- Complying with advertising rules
- Minimizing blunders in trust accounting, recordkeeping and bookkeeping
- Communicating and interacting with your clients appropriately
- Checking conflicts and knowing to whom the duty is owed
- Lowering your risk of negligence, misrepresentation and dishonesty
- Diminishing the possibility of criminal activity
- Avoiding breaches of confidentiality and maintaining professionalism
- ... and much more!
Speakers will highlight recent case law to help lawyers relate the RPCs to the nuts and bolts of practicing in the minefield.
