About the Seminar
One of the significant challenges for newly admitted attorneys is navigating the minefield of ethical nuances presented in the “real life” practice of law. It's is one thing to pass the MPRE; quite another to make correct ethical decisions under the pressures and stresses that can come from clients, opposing counsel, deadlines, competition, and the financial pressures of everyday practice. Former Deputy Disciplinary Counsel attorney Barbara Seymour and a faculty of experienced and distinguished practitioners will lead you through a comprehensive program designed to provide you with the kind of practical guidance you need to understand and apply the SC Rules of Professional Conduct in the day-to-day practice of law. This program is not about “book learning” or memorizing rules. It's about application and process. From marketing to managing your staff, your time and your money, this full day seminar covers the “essentials” of ethical decision-making in the complex world that is the practice of law in 2018.
