Legal Ethics 2022: Policies and Procedures for a Successful Practice

Product ID: CD3313
Presented By: State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE

Your colleague’s keeper?

Government lawyers. In-house counsel. Attorneys at large firms. Solo and small firm practitioners. No matter how you practice law, you’re not practicing alone. And lawyers aren’t just responsible for their own conduct; they’re potentially on the hook for the behavior of those they supervise. So, how do you ensure the people you work with are complying with the Rules of Professional Conduct?

At Legal Ethics 2022: Policies and Procedures for a Successful Practice, you’ll examine your obligation to ensure everyone in your practice is acting ethically. You’ll receive guidance on what policies and procedures your office should have in place when it comes to:

  • Opening, closing, organizing, and managing files
  • Checking for conflicts of interest
  • Responsibility for calendaring deadlines and events
  • Proper billing practices
  • Use of law firm technology
  • Social media
