Product Description

Observance of the highest ethical standards, proficiency in essential elements of law practice, civility, and engagement in the legal community are among the hallmarks of professionalism. MCLE’s dynamic faculty bring these principles to life.

After Supreme Judicial Court Rule 3:16 was rescinded, we wanted to ensure there was still a program for newly admitted lawyers in Massachusetts that addresses the importance of professionalism in the practice of law. This program looks at professionalism in your relationships with your clients and other attorneys, as well as examining implicit bias, challenges in social media interactions, and maintaining your professional and personal well-being.

Spend a half-day with MCLE and build a foundation in professionalism that will serve you throughout your career—and life!
