EVENT DETAIL
Lawyers in the Dock: When and How Should Lawyers Be Prosecuted For Acts of Advocacy
Thursday, April 29, 2010 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Pre-registration for this event is closed, however you may walk-in and register at the door.
CLE credit will be provided.
The prosecution of lawyers for acts of advocacy raises important policy issues – not least, the concern that they can have a chilling effect on the cherished ideal of zealous advocacy. Should these kinds of prosecutions be governed by special and formalized rules? Should judicial supervision be required? What ethical limitations, if any, govern the prosecutor's decision to investigate and prosecute a lawyer?
