Being a jerk is easy. It’s especially easy if our
opponents are jerks first. It’s also a pretty lousy way to practice law. Being
advocates doesn't mean lawyers need to be rude, sneaky, obstructionist or
condescending – no matter how tempting or satisfying it may feel in the moment.
Ethics rules call on us to make meritorious claims, expedite cases, and act with
candor and fairness toward courts,
parties and opposing lawyers. In this session, we'll discuss how lawyers best
serve their clients, the judicial system, and our profession by following both the letter and
the spirit of those rules.

few years.
