LAWYERS AS TRUSTEES – Things to consider before you say yes

Event Description

Deadline to Register: March 9, 2015

Which Rules of Professional Conduct apply to a lawyer acting as trustee?  Rule 8.4(d) on “conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice?”  The trust account rules, or just some of them? What about the conflict rules?   How do the Rules relate to fiduciary duties?  Cases before the Minnesota Supreme Court and the Lawyers Board answer these questions in ways that lawyer-trustees find surprising. This CLE will discuss these cases, as well as practical concerns for the lawyer-trustee.

Lunch and registration will begin at 11:30 a.m. The program will begin at 12:00 p.m.

William J. Wernz, Legal Ethics Counselor and Consultant
