Lawghter is the Best Medicine: Ethics Fun With Sean Carter
On December 6th, Brouse McDowell hosted its biennial Ethics & Professionalism CLE Breakfast with speaker Sean Carter at the Hilton Akron/Fairlawn. The program consisted of three one hour sessions and was approved for 3.0 hours of professionalism CLE in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The agenda is listed below.
Program Outline
Part 1: Yelp, I’ve Fallen Into Social Media and I Can’t LinkedOut: The Ethical Pitfalls of Social Media
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and the other social media tools have become ubiquitous in our high-tech society. And while social media can undoubtedly help lawyers to enhance their networks of colleagues, clients and prospective clients, it can also ensnare the unwary in a web of ethical violations.
Part 2: From Competence to Excellence: The Ethical Imperative for Excellent Client Service
Sean Carter will review the competence requirement with an eye towards demonstrating that the ethical canon actually requires far more than mere competence on the part of practitioners.
Part 3: Nice Lawyers Finish First (Civility)
Sean Carter uses humor to stress the importance of not only being "nice," but embodying all the traits of true professionalism.
