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
