In this one hour webinar, legal humorist 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.  In doing so, he will discuss: the four competencies (skill, preparation, knowledge, thoroughness); the importance of relevant past experience; the Preparation Paradox; the different kinds of knowledge required by the rules; and the three keys to diligent representation (avoiding conflicts of interest, over-commitment and procrastination).  For more information on this program entitled "From Competence to Excellence - The Ethycal Imperative for Excellent Client Service", click here.

**Sean Carter is a Harvard Law grad, who spent a decade practicing securities law before leaving the practice of law to pursue a career as the country's foremost Humorist at Law.

Since then, Mr. Carter has crisscrossed the country delivering comedic professional educational seminars for more than 350 legal organizations in three dozen states. His presentation topics run the gamut from legal ethics to stress management to diversity. Yet, all of his presentations have one thing in common -- humor and plenty of it.

In fact, in 2003, Mr. Carter was dubbed "America's Funniest Lawyer" by The Radio and Television Interview Report.

Finally, Sean lives in Mesa, Arizona with his wife and four sons.
