It's been said that the entire legal ethics canon can be summed up in
two rules: (1) Keep your hands off the money; and (2) Keep your hands
off the client. And while this is a gross oversimplification of the
legal ethics rules, it is true that these two breaches of fiduciary
trust are among the gravest transgressions that a lawyer can make.
Moreover, as they are often amongst the most heavily-punished
violations, they often start a cascading effect of rule-breaking as
lawyers desperately attempt to avoid their detection. As a result, it
never hurts to review these all-important ethical limitations on lawyer
conduct. In this laugh-out-loud funny webinar, legal humorist Sean Carter will do
just that as he goes through the ins and outs of these two ethical
principals, specifically as they apply to:
- Stealing (and "borrowing") client funds
- Retaining funds that rightfully belong to others
- Using undue influence to inherit client wealth
- Diverting fees from one's law partners
- Premature withdrawal of earned fees
- Coercing desperate clients into physical relationships
- Sending lewd texts and messages to clients
- Conditioning representation upon sex
- Leading the client on about a possible relationship
