Where Zealous Advocacy Ends and Incivility Begins

Litigation requires lawyers to make difficult judgment calls where advocacy, civility, and ethical conduct often intersect. Through realistic hypotheticals, Hon. Wendy L. Wilcox (Ret.) of Signature Resolution, John F. Ramey of ACTS LAW, Michelle Watkins of Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, Grace Parrish of Loyola Law School, and Rupa Patel of MG+M The Law Firm 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.
