About This Course

Codes of Ethics are designed to ensure that employees abide by a uniform standard of behavior. These codes create behavioral norms throughout a company or organization which protects both the entity and its employees. But what does a code imply? Are they rules? Suggestions? Guidelines? To what degree are they enforceable?

This CLE course will explain how to regard a code of ethics as well as the role of attorneys in both designing and implementing them. The course will also address the balance between the legal issues within a code of ethics and the practical considerations of implementation.
