Reporting another lawyer’s misconduct can be an ethical minefield. When does Rule 8.3 require you to speak up, and what happens if you don’t? Don’t leave your professional responsibilities to chance. Sign up for our free, upcoming Justia Webinar today to stay informed!
If you became aware of a colleague’s ethical violation, would you know what to do? Reporting attorney misconduct is more than just a moral dilemma — it’s a professional duty under ABA Model Rule 8.3. However, the rule’s requirements aren’t always straightforward. When does the duty to report arise? What are the potential risks of speaking up — or staying silent?
Join us for our upcoming webinar as our speaker Tracy L. Kepler breaks down the complexities of this rule, including when reporting is required, the consequences of failing to act, and best practices for compliance.
