One of the fundamental principles of legal ethics can be summed up as: "Keep your hands off the client." And while this is a gross oversimplification of the legal ethics rules, it is true that this breach of trust is among the gravest transgressions that a lawyer can make. Moreover, as it are often amongst the most heavily-punished violations, it often start a cascading effect of rule-breaking as lawyers desperately attempt to avoid detection. As a result, it never hurts to review this all-important ethical limitation on lawyer conduct.

In this laugh-out-loud funny webinar, legal humorist Sean Carter will go through the ins and outs of this particular conflict of interest, specifically as it applies to:

  • 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
  • Creating conflicts of interest with spouses, opposing parties and counsel
  • Harassing colleagues with unwanted advances
