Maintaining Professionalism in an Adversarial System

July 18, 2023

Webinar
2:00 pm – 3:30 pm ET
90-minute presentation includes a Q&A session 

This CLE will focus on how to approach defense attorneys who utilize tactics such as improperly accusing the prosecution of misconduct, deploying an unnecessarily aggressive demeanor, or simply being unreasonable and obstructing the flow of a case.  Techniques for both maintaining your sanity, upholding the dignity of our profession and effectively neutralizing these approaches will be explored.  Additionally, special consideration will be given to the Rules of Professional Conduct that address interaction between attorneys and what these rules can tell us about handling these situations.

Tuition:
Members: $100
Non-Member: $125
