Robert Clifford Moderates Panel on the Ethics of Client Communications
CHICAGO, IL (PRWEB) December 04, 2013 -- Robert Clifford, partner at Clifford Law Offices will be leading a webinar panel on the Ethics of Client Communications Thursday, February 20th, 2014. The free webinar is part of the seventh annual Continuing Legal Education Series (CLE) held at the DePaul Conference Center on the DePaul University campus in Chicago, Illinois. The upcoming webinar will cover the do’s, don’ts and best practices of lawyer communication with both commercial and consumer clients; issues in ex parte communications between lawyers and adjudicators; and how to avoid breaches of client confidentiality.
“The Internet Age has impacted communications between clients and law firms. The upcoming Continual Legal Education webinar on client communication will address communications and ethics on many fronts and in many every-day situations,” said CLE sponsor and panel moderator Robert Clifford. “The panelists will bring a breadth and depth of perspective to shed light on the critical topic of ethical issues involving client communications and will offer some common sense advice based on the Rules of Professional Conduct.”
The 2014 webinar panelists include Justice Maureen Connors of the Illinois Appellate Court, James J. Grogan, Deputy Administration and Chief Counsel of the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, and Sara Parikh, Ph.D., Managing Director of Leo J. Shapiro & Associates. Hypotheticals will be presented during the webinar to demonstrate problems involving client communications and how the Model Rules of Professional Conduct can offer some insight into solving those issues.
“The goal is that these annual webinars help lawyers get it right while also helping the profession to promote civility in the courtroom and to the public,” said Clifford. “My law firm continues to sponsor these important programs free so that every lawyer can take advantage of the excellent speakers and all that they have to offer.”
Last year’s Continuing Legal Education Series program attracted more than 2,500 people in person and on the web. The webinar involves a live audio-visual broadcast of the discussion amongst panelists, which attendees can easily access from their desktops. There is a significant interactive Q&A element, allowing the people in the audience and those attending via the Internet to participate.
