Description:
This program will focus on some of the most pressing ethical issues and
hottest developments surrounding interpretations of the Rules and their
enforcement by the Committees and the Courts. Often, when the Attorney
Grievance Committee disciplines an attorney, it comes as an admonition—a
private sanction; you cannot read about it in the New York Law Journal
or even on the Court websites. This program will reveal the kinds of
misconduct that the Committees address through private sanctions and
letters of advisement. Be alerted to the type of attorney misconduct -
both professional and personal - that result in scrutiny, investigation,
and sanction. Plus, learn more about judicial misconduct, where judges
have been disciplined for their conduct towards attorneys and in their
capacity as attorneys.
