Mark E. Schneider : Courses and Seminars
Ethical Quandaries in Legal Practice
LAWS 41013
With the advent of 24-hour news cycles and the proliferation of social media communications, the practice of law, like many professions, is under intense scrutiny from clients, the judiciary, regulators and peers. The attendant risk to the reputations of practicing attorneys is much higher than it has ever been.
This seminar will satisfy the professional responsibility/ethics graduation requirement. Through analysis of ethical issues that lawyers operating in the public and private sector face on a daily basis, we will study the challenges, pitfalls, consequences and opportunities associated with the ethical practice of law. Pending confirmation, seasoned attorneys with public sector experience, private practitioners and members of the judiciary will, at times, join portions of the seminar to discuss real world scenarios and provide insight into how attorneys can successfully navigate through ethical minefields.
