This program completely satisfies the ethics requirement for the entire reporting cycle in Iowa and Nebraska. And this program has been scheduled to provide maximum benefit to Nebraska attorneys: Since Nebraska allows only five credits per year of "distance learning" credit, this program will take care of five live credits. Nebraska attorneys can complete their remaining annual credits with distance learning programs, either mine or some other provider's. (This program was rather crowded last year, and I have made arrangements to have additional tables this year.)
Copies of the course materials will be provided at the program. They're also available at the following links:
We have two interesting live presentations planned:
Iowa-Nebraska Ethics, Presented by Richard Clem. This will be a comprehensive review of the Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys in Iowa and Nebraska. Both states have adopted substantially similar rules governing lawyers, and this course will review the rules as adopted in both states. Where the rules differ, we will go over the differences. Seeing these differences is useful for the practitioner in that particular state, but also gives insight into the meaning of the rule in other states. And since the same model rules serve as the basis for most state rules, this course will provide practical guidance for attorneys in most U.S. jurisdictions. Many lawyers review the Rules in their entirety only once, and that is before they take the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam in law school. But the rules change over the years and decades, and some of the finer points might be forgotten. Therefore, this course will serve as a useful refresher for the practitioner to avoid ethical pitfalls. During this four hour session, we'll cover the rules in their entirety, including the new Iowa advertising rules. Live lecture, 3 hours.
Recent Appellate Decisions, Presented by Richard Clem. We'll review recent appellate decisions of interest from courts in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, and around the region. Expected topics include:
