Practicing law is like walking in a minefield - any one of a number of missteps can result in your being reprimanded, suspended or even worse... disbarred. This is particularly true given the increased competition that many members of the bar experience in their areas of practice. This course will give you confidence when competing by helping to keep within the confines of the NJ Rules of Professional Conduct.

Register today to learn EXACTLY 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.

You worked hard to earn your law license - this webinar will help ensure that you can keep it and remain in good standing!

Learn what you need to know to avoid being reprimanded or worse, including:

  • Trust accounting blunders
  • Interaction or lack of interaction between you and your clients
  • Recordkeeping/bookkeeping   errors
  • Conflicts including to whom the duty is owed
  • Negligence
  • Criminal activity
  • Misrepresentation and dishonesty
  • Confidentiality
  • Professionalism
        ... and much more!

 


Speakers will be referring to recent case law to help lawyers relate the RPCs to the nuts and bolts of practicing in the minefield!
