The presentation on Litigation Ethics included a discussion of the North Carolina Supreme Court's recent Worley decision under Rule of Professional Conduct 1.9, involving duties to former clients; the ethical issues involved in Alternative Litigation Finance; and McCoy v. Louisiana (Sup. Ct.) and the ethical issues surrounding an attorney's ability to disregard the express wishes of a client.
The seminar is complimentary to in-house, university, and executive personnel.
