About This Course
The zealous representation of clients is the obligation of all attorneys. But that obligation does not give them the right to ignore the rules of professional conduct, or that of honesty and candor in front of the tribunal. Creating a balance between the two can certainly present a challenge.
This CLE course will explain how to structure presentations for the maximum effect and best serve a client’s interests while still maintaining the proper standards for honesty, the prevention of perjury, and zero tolerance for evidence tampering. The course will examine best practices for preparing witnesses, especially in light of the fallibility of human memory, for direct and cross examination. The course will also address various legal elements and ethical issues and how they might be applied to hypothetical cases.
