Good afternoon Family Law Section members,
On
Thursday, June 16, NJICLE will present
Webcast- Is it Over Yet? - Competence, Diligence and Self Preservation in 2022 (An Ethics Program) from
9 a.m. to 12:35 p.m.We’re all thinking it - Don’t worry, this is not just ANOTHER program about the impact of the pandemic on the practice of law. We have all lived with COVID-19 and heard ad nauseum about its disruptive effects even to the point of having a new condition we’ll call PDF (Pandemic Discussion Fatigue).
Nevertheless, we can’t deny that all of this has impacted our professional lives in more ways than even the many that we can readily identify. So, the time is ripe to collectively re-examine what we need to do to take care of ourselves and take care of business. While we can’t predict the future of the practice of law, we can safely say that nothing will ever be quite the same.
Once again, original vignettes written and co-produced by ReelTime CLE founders Michael Kahn and Chris Osborn will serve as the catalyst for a practical and informative consideration of the duty of competence and how it has expanded and metamorphosized in these times of the “new normal” (sorry, another term we could do without hearing!). Michael and Chris and a round table of New Jersey attorneys will identify and demonstrate practical strategies for individual and organizational well-being designed to help you meet your ethical obligations and better serve your clients.
