Deadline to Register: January 13,
2015
Limited scope engagement requests are becoming more popular,
as more clients seeking to economize their representation and take advantage of
the ever-expanding array of self-represented litigant tools available through
the courts and online. These arrangements require special ethical considerations
separate from full representation cases. When executed effectively, limited
scope engagements bring business to attorneys and help bridge the justice gap,
by making crucial periods in a legal case affordable to clients who would
otherwise not be able to afford full representation.
Patrick Burns will
discuss best practices for ethical and effective limited scope engagements,
covering the rules of professional responsibility and the recent disciplinary
decision from the Minnesota Supreme Court, In re Petition for Disciplinary
Action Against A.B. (Minn., 2014).
Lunch and registration will begin at 12:00 p.m.
