Lawyer Competence and Communication in Our Diverse World; 2022 CLA Annual Meeting
Communication is a fundamental component of every lawyer-client relationship. As recognized recently in ABA Formal Op. 500, a lawyer must communicate with a client so that the client can make informed decisions regardless of language or cultural differences. This obligation is part of competent representation and cross cultural misunderstandings are recognized as a source of malpractice claims. But they are easily preventable. By sharing a series of real-life hypotheticals, this panel for all experience levels will analyze some common scenarios that cause misunderstandings and provide guidance to prevent unnecessary communication breakdowns during the lawyer-client relationship.
