Trouble Is Brewing: The Steep Price of Spilling Client Tea
In an era of viral storytelling and professional oversharing, the line between harmless anecdotes and career-ending ethics violations has never been thinner. Join us for an immersive, high-stakes exploration of breaching confidentiality and the modern traps that catch even the most cautious practitioners.
Using examples from actual disciplinary cases, humorist Sean Carter will explain:
- The Permanent Press: Why "Information Relating to the Representation" is a much larger net than you think.
- The Public Record Trap: Why the fact that it's "public knowledge" doesn't mean you're allowed to talk about it.
- The Digital Sieve: How smartphones and "anonymized" blog posts become the smoking guns in disciplinary hearings.
- The Exception Filter: A practical guide to when you can (and must) actually spill the tea without losing your license.
