Lawyers serve a vital role in society -- to help others resolve their
disputes peacefully. And while lawyers do so through use of the
adversarial process, we must not ever lose sight of the fact that we are
not "fighting" for our clients. We are striving to help them reach a
peaceful solution to their problem.
Sadly, quite often, lawyers get so hung up in the confrontational manner
of depositions, cross-examinations, contract negotiations, and the
like, that we develop a "fighting" mentality. This mentality does not
serve the best of interest of our clients and nor does it serve our
personal or professional interests. In this sobering webinar, legal ethicist Sean Carter will use real-life
examples of lawyers who lost sight of the promises of peace and decided
to handle their own personal disputes through less than peaceful means.
As you will see, they not only did irreparable damage to their personal
relationships, but also, by betraying the ethical standards to which
they once swore allegiance, they proved themselves unfit for the
professional role of peacemaker and endured significant sanctions from
disciplinary authorities.
