“Ethics Unbound and Unmasked” CLE topics:

  • Some things are not going away after the shots: Issues relating to practicing remotely/virtually.
  • a. Working remotely from a jurisdiction where you are not licensed.
  • b. Myriad issues in virtual practice.
  • Some things stay the same: Stop making stupid threats.
  • Some statutes, like NRS 7.095, cannot be waived.
  • Some (jointly represented) clients should be declined.
  • Some people just can’t be trusted: Be careful when outsourcing work.
  • Say, this looks familiar: A few (hopefully original) words about plagiarism and its consequences.
  • And you look familiar, too: How close is “too close” to opposing counsel?
  • Responding to negative on-line reviews: Some things, at least for now, should be left unsaid.
  • Obligations to prospective clients: Watch out for RPC 1.18.
  • Lawyer mobility: I’ll keep talking about this topic until everyone gets it. For now, I’m clearing my throat.
  • Dealing with pro se litigants: That’s correct; I’m not returning your calls.
  • Other stuff if we have time.
