Course description
Overcoming Ethical Challenges in the Courtroom
Ethical boundaries are often unconsciously crossed. This especially holds true when it comes to trial, where some rules are not so clear-cut, and the pressure to win for clients can conflict with duties owed to the tribunal and opposing party. This legal ethics program will explore real-world dilemmas you will face at trial. Keep your reputation and conscience clear inside and outside of the courtroom.
