Speaking
Attorneys take an oath to support the US Constitution and are subject to the Professional Rules of Conduct. This seminar serves as a reminder to all attorneys and will lay the foundational principle of governance that all individuals, institutions, and our three branches of government are equally accountable to publicly, fairly enforce and independently adjudicate legal codes. These duties include recognizing the Rule of Law as an Officer of the Court in your daily practice or other venues, while keeping your license to practice law, and will explore how civility, professionalism, and respectful advocacy toward courts, clients, and opposing counsel are essential to upholding the Rule of Law and maintaining public trust in the legal system.
