Conflicts of Interest.Live lecture presented by Richard Clem. This will be a look at the conflict of interest rules governing lawyers in Iowa and other states. It will cover Rule 1.7 of the Iowa Rules of Professional Conduct, as well as related rules. Subjects addressed include: Joint representations in general; driver and passenger; co-defendants in criminal cases; insured and insurer; organization and individuals within organization; buyer and seller; testator and beneficiary; closely related entitites; business transactions between clients; consent to conflicts; "hot potato" doctrine; and more.
In addition, we will begin the program with an overview of Iowa Court Rule 39.18, which takes effect on December 25, 2017. Under this rule, Iowa attorneys have a new obligation to engage in succession planning for their practice. And when Iowa attorneys do their annual bar renewal, they are required to report portions of their succession plan. Therefore, it's imperative that attorneys have these plans in place and be prepared to do the required reporting. You will receive an overview of the new rules and be given sources of information to allow you to complete this requirement.
The course materials will be distributed at the door. If you would like to print a copy prior to the program (or "go green" and view them on your portable device), they are available at the following link:
