Recorded Webinars
Let’s Get Ethical!
Wednesday, December 15, 2021
1:00 – 2:00 p.m. (Eastern)
School and Employment law practitioners routinely face a variety of ethics issues daily. These issues often stem from the fact these lawyers represent school districts and corporate entities, not the individual officers, board members, and/or employees who are implicated in the litigation being defended. In addition, these issues arise when counseling clients on employment law matters and conducting internal investigations. Being able to identify and address these potential challenges can be critical to a successful and ethical representation of these types of clients.
