The Revised Rules of Professional Conduct - What’s New, What’s Not, and How It Will Affect Your Practice Part I: Foundation Rules
It’s been nearly 30 years since the California Rules of Professional Conduct have been revised but on May 10, 2018, substantial changes were adopted by the California Supreme Court. The new rules go into effect November 1, 2018.
The Rules Revision Commission, a group of 19 lawyers and judges and five non-voting advisors, was chaired by Justice Lee Smalley Edmon, Presiding Justice of Division Three of the Second District Court of Appeal in Los Angeles.
They were tasked to study existing rules and recommend their changes, specifically focusing on “revisions that (a) are necessary to address changes in law and (b) eliminate, when and if appropriate, unnecessary differences between California’s rules and the rules used by a preponderance of the states (in some cases in reliance on the American Bar Association’s Model Rules) in order to help promote a national standard with respect to professional responsibility issues whenever possible.”
In this three-part webinar, you will hear about selected revised rules from three members of the Commission -- highly qualified and respected members of the legal community. The rules on which the panel will focus have been chosen because of their broad application and interest to practitioners as well as the significance of changes from the existing rules.

10/24/2018 - The Devil's in the Details: A Litigator's Guide to Interpreting & Understanding the Subtleties of a Dispute Resolution Clause
Litigators are often entering a mediation or arbitration with dispute resolution clauses that are drafted too vaguely, too specifically…and sometimes are just right. Join our presenters as they will give their respective “insider’s view” into what business clients want and expect in mediation and arbitration, and what arbitrators see as frequent pitfalls – and best practices – in how ADR clauses are interpreted by outside counsel, and what litigators can and should do in the face of a problematic clause. They will discuss common issues that arise when a clause is unclear, offer examples of how litigators either help or hurt the efficiency and effectiveness of the arbitration process when dealing with a poorly drafted ADR clause, and provide some best practices and insights to attendees.
