Many attorneys engage in aggressive behaviors and tactics that they say are part of a “duty” of zealous advocacy. But the ethics rules do not impose a “duty” of zealous advocacy and these jerks and bullies often cross ethics rules related to candor and misconduct and face potential sanctions, reputational injury, or discipline. They certainly violate guidelines and norms of civility established by the Courts and bar associations.
In this seminar, we will learn to: • understand how this type of aggressive behavior may violate the ethics rules including Model Rules 3 and 8 • how such behavior may undermine client options and decision making • what we may be required to do to address such behavior under Rule 5 regarding supervisory or subordinate attorneys or Rule 8.3 reporting misconduct or even the FRCP and 28 USC 1927
