Ethics - Curb Your Enthusiasm:  The Ethical Bounds of Zealous Advocacy

  • Driven by client demand, workplace culture or personality trait, an attorney may feel the urge to pull out all the stops when representing a client.
  • Ethical rules that require fairness to the opponent, thruthfulness, and decorum and/or forbid misconduct in general, serve to keep this urge in check somewhat.
  • Using LA Disciplinary cases and typical scenarios as a backdrop, this program will offer guidance on how not to cross the line between zealous and overzealous, unethical advocacy.
