Session 1: Ethical Issues When Insurers Won't Fund the Defense - There's a gap between Hamel's "fully adversarial trial" requirement and Lyda Swinerton Builders' permission for insureds to "settle or litigate, at [the insured's] option." How insureds and their counsel fill that gap when insurers refuse to defend raises issues from legal creativity to outright chicanery.
 
Session 2: What To Do If Your Client Is Misbehaving, Part VIII - Real-world questions and answers regarding ethics, the law, and what your client has asked you to do—or hide.

Includes: Audio Paper Slides
