November CLE: Ethics; The Hidden Value of Lawyers

November 28, 2018 @ 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm
Please join us for our November luncheon featuring Professor Kevin Michels speaking on attorney ethics and The Hidden Value of Lawyers. This program is anticipated to be approved for 1 CLE ethics credit and will be our last ethics CLE of the year.  As always, a gourmet lunch will be served.
Presentation Summary.
Although lawyers rightly prize their knowledge of law and legal procedures, they sometimes overlook another capacity developed through the study and practice of law. Our ethical reasoning capacities have much to do with what makes us great practitioners, leaders, and agents of change. We will examine how the attorney’s capacity to reason about questions of ethics and fairness helps the lawyer in the traditional representation role, as counsel in the organization setting, and as leader and innovator.
