About This Course

Taking a case to trial is a taxing, stressful, and complicated endeavor for any litigator. But overlying all the legal arguments and factual analysis are ethical considerations that can be just as daunting as the criminal case itself. This CLE course delves into the ethical responsibilities of a litigator at trial.

The course will cover various ethical issues that typically come about before and during the jury trial process. The presenter will discuss what ethical issues every trial attorney should be sensitive to and how to appropriately handle them
