Program Description
Ethics Refresher 2011 (Part 1) (Video Replay). This will be a comprehensive review of the Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. All three states have adopted substantially similar rules governing lawyers, and this course will review the rules as adopted in all three 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 states’ 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. This three hour segment is designed to satisfy the entire ethics requirement for the reporting period in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. This portion of the program covers Rules 1.0 through 4.4 (and Wisconsin Rule 4.5). This program was originally presented in St. Paul on April 2, and is part of a longer six-hour program, the second half of which is presented on various dates, including Cloquet on April 9. Three hours.
