Lawyer Well-Being: TLAP in the Coronavirus Era

Ethics Three-Pack: Client Confidentiality, Advertising, and Social Media (REPLAY)
Ethically proper social media presence, maintaining client confidentiality, and compliance with attorney advertising rules are three important cornerstones of any successful and ethical law practice. Update your knowledge and avoid pitfalls in all three areas as a result of this fast-paced and informative one-hour roundtable discussion.

12:20 p.m. to 1:20 p.m. (1.00 hr | 1.00 hr ethics)
Hey Ho Pinocchio! Slowing Down Our Reflex to Call Someone a Liar (REPLAY)
Join DeDe Church in this entertaining yet practical exploration of how we can determine when a witness or client is lying and the best practices for responding in those sticky situations. Often we are quick to label someone a liar these days, but we now know that stress and trauma can cause memories to be stored in a non-linear fashion or to be riddled with blank spots. We'll learn some proven techniques for determining if a person is intentionally lying and the ethical ways to respond without necessarily "outing" them as a liar.
