Product Description
Product Description
During the course of a lawsuit, your adversary is not the only source of challenges. Conflicts can emerge when you represent more than one party and when you interact with others who may think they are your client. Sometimes conflicts surface during interactions with witnesses or when an adverse party turns out to be connected to another client in a way that was not apparent when the lawsuit began.
In addition to conflicts, as the lawyer proceeds through each stage of a lawsuit new ethical dilemmas can arise from unforeseen places: lying witnesses, meddling insurers and litigation funders, and sometimes your own client can turn from friend to foe in the middle of a case.
This program addresses these and other ethical dilemmas that a lawyer can plan for and avoid before they happen, or resolve when they crop up unexpectedly. The faculty guides you through a variety of hypotheticals to help you learn where the traps are hidden and how to avoid them.
