We are seeking 2 hours of ethics MCLE credits for this program.
McGuireWoods invites you and your colleagues to attend Tom Spahn’s annual ethics program. This two-hour interactive program uses hypotheticals to explore lawyers’ confidentiality and disclosure duties in the context of clients’ past or ongoing misconduct.
Topics
- Lawyers’ possible duty to disclose clients’ past fraud on tribunals, or past misconduct in noncorporate and corporate settings
- Distinguishing between past and ongoing client misconduct (including fugitive clients)
- Client crimes’ fruits and instrumentalities
- Lawyers’ silence that causes anguish to victims’ families, or allows a wrongly convicted person to remain incarcerated
- Distinguishing between clients’ past and future misconduct
