Pre-Meeting CLE Course:
Pushing the Envelope Without Tearing it Open: “Zealous” Representation, Lawyer Self-Defense, and Clients on the Edge
Sunday, May 21  |  2:00 - 4:00 p.m.

How zealously can an attorney represent a client without crossing ethical lines? Our panel of practitioners and judges will examine those boundaries, including: permissive legal advice vs. encouraging or assisting a client in criminal/fraudulent conduct; what you can tell clients who want direction on undercover/sting operations; and the duty of confidentiality vs. permissive or mandatory disclosures.
