The SC Bar CLE Division and the Bar’s Professional Responsibility Committee have teamed up to bring you a fast-paced and (yes!) entertaining look at trending ethics topics for 2023.  Created by PR Committee Chair Barbara Seymour, this special half-day seminar is designed to give you practical insights on key principals that will help you keep your license where it belongs - on your wall!

Professional Responsibility Committee members Michael Virzi, James Bell, Stephanie Weissenstein, Dr. Greg Adams, Jeffrey Silverberg, and Tara Nauful will join Barbara Seymour to provide authoritative guidance on the ethics of advertising, disqualifying information on prospective clients, key fee structure issues, document witnessing and notarizing, surreptitious recording, law firm departures and breakups and more.  And as a bonus, you will also get a full hour of lawyer mental health and wellness regarding lawyer suicide prevention, cognitive impairments in colleagues, avoiding compassion fatigue and building resilience in your life as a practicing attorney.

 

This seminar is an intermediate level program.

This program qualifies for 4.0 MCLE credit hours, including up to 3.0 LEPR and 1.0 SA/MH credit hour.
