Product Description

The practice of law often involves high volume, high stakes, and high emotions. These stressful components of practice can create pressures on attorneys to act in ways that amplify hostility in an already adversarial process or perhaps unknowingly run afoul of ethical responsibilities. Join us for a review of applicable ethics rules, common missteps that could result in disciplinary action, and tips for tackling incivility day to day from colleagues and clients.
