Ethics and Professional Conduct for Government Attorneys 2012: Complying With Dual Sets of Rules

Time: Wednesday, October 10, 2012 from 6:00 pm to 8:45 pm
Description

Credit: 2.5 Ethics Credit Hours

Description: Government attorneys should attend this course to receive practical advice on how to comply with the dual schemes of ethical obligations imposed upon them-not only do they have to comply with the same ethics rules as their private practitioner counterparts, but they also must deal with ethical rules and considerations applicable only to those in government service. This class will examine important ethical obligations for government attorneys, including what ethics rules govern, the duty of confidentiality, ethics rules that apply to outside activities such as pro bono work, conflicts of interest, and more. Our panelists have many years of experience with the ethics rules and their applicability to government practice. They will discuss the D.C. Rules of Professional Conduct as well as examine government ethics rules that affect the ethical obligations of lawyers in government service.
