Where Do You Draw the Line Between Advocacy, Civility, and Ethical Conduct?
About this program
Litigation requires lawyers to make difficult judgment calls where advocacy, civility, and ethical conduct often intersect. Through realistic hypotheticals, they examine where those lines are drawn and why they matter. The discussion focuses on the impact those lines have on clients, opposing counsel, and the court.
This OnDemand CLE program earns 1 hour of Civility credit in California. It aired October 1, 2026 and features Grace Parrish, Rupa Patel, John F. Ramey, Michelle Watkins, and Hon. Wendy L. Wilcox (Ret.).
