NY's New Rule 1.8 and Humanitarian Financial (Web)
LIVE WEBCAST
New York’s New Rule 1.8 and Humanitarian Financial Assistance to Clients
Thursday, March 18, 2021 | 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Program Fee:
Free for Members & Nonmembers
CLE Credit:
New York: 1.0 Ethics
New Jersey: 1.0 Professional Responsibility
California: 1.0 Professional Responsibility
Pennsylvania: 1.0 Professional Responsibility
Connecticut: Available to Licensed Attorneys
Description:
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the legal landscape in a number of ways, including how we serve clients from historically marginalized communities who were hit hardest by the pandemic. The recent amendment to
New York’s Rule 1.8
, which had previously largely prohibited lawyers from providing financial assistance to clients, creates a “humanitarian exception” allowing them to provide basic support, such as money for groceries, clothes, or medical supplies. This CLE will explore implications of this new rule through hypotheticals developed from real world practice experience, and will discuss ideas and strategies for both law firms and legal services providers utilizing this rule in a way that best supports clients.
