DESCRIPTION
It's Not the Fruit, It's the Root: Getting to the Bottom of Our Ethical Ills
In this unique legal ethics webinar, humorist Sean Carter will go beyond the simple "dos" and "don'ts" of rules and get to the root of the matter -- the mindsets that cause lawyers to commit ethics violations in the first place. In doing so, he will cover the Seven Deadly Sins of legal ethics:
1. Lust (conflicts of interest -- Rules 1.7-1.9)
2. Gluttony (over-commitment -- Rule 1.3)
3. Greed (trust account violations -- Rules 1.5 & 1.15)
4. Sloth (lack of diligence -- Rules 1.1 & 1.3)
5. Wrath (incivility -- Rules 3.4, 3.5, 4.4 & 8.4)
6. Envy (incompetence -- Rule 1.1)
7. Pride (breaches of confidentiality, failure to communicate -- Rules 1.4 & 1.6)
