Deadline to Register: January 7, 2015
Appearing in Arbitrations Outside of Minnesota:
Avoiding Unauthorized Practice and Navigating the Patchwork Regulation Enacted
by Other States.
Even the smallest construction law client
can be forced to arbitrate a dispute outside of Minnesota. Practicing law
in a jurisdiction where you are not licensed can constitute the unauthorized
practice of law resulting in ethics complaints, forfeiture of fees, contempt
sanctions, and even criminal exposure. While many states take a laissez
faire approach towards policing unauthorized arbitration practice, more states
are enacting rules imposing specific admission requirements for arbitration
practice by out-of-state lawyers. Join Dorsey’s Ethics Partner and former
Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility as he discusses
arbitration appearances in states outside of Minnesota and how to avoid
unauthorized arbitration practice.
Lunch and registration will begin at noon. The program will begin at 12:15 p.m.
