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.
