Iowa/Nebraska Ethics.Live lecture presented by Richard Clem. This will be a comprehensive review of the Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys in Iowa, Nebraska, and other states. 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.
This year, we'll place a special emphasis on Conflicts of Interest. While the subject is addressed by Rule 1.7, the text of the rule gives little practical guidance. We'll spend time talking about common situations where the practitioner should be alert to potential conflicts. Live lecture, 240 minutes.
School Safety. As lawyers and community leaders, we'll take time to think about what we can do in the wake of an epidemic of school violence. We'll look at the legal duties of school districts, and in that context, we'll explore possible solutions. We won't come up with the answer to school violence, but we'll try to identify the thought process that will allow us to find rational solutions. Live lecture, 60 minutes.
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 will be available before the program at the following links:

The program will be in the Gleeson room of the downtown Sioux City Public library. Please note that this is a change from previous years, due to construction. Parking: Although visitor parking is available in the parking lot (west of the Library), the library requests that you park in the downtown ramps if attending more than an hour. The closest ramps are Rivers Landing, located on the corner of Fifth and Douglas Streets, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Transportation Center, located on the corner of Sixth and Nebraska Streets. Both ramps are connected to the Library via the skywalk system. Metered street parking is also available.
In accordance with library policy, this program is open to the public with no admission charge. The tuition covers CLE credit and cost of materials. Accessibility: The library and conference room are accessible to persons with disabilities. If you need any special accomodations, please contact me.
