    Good afternoon Family Law Section members,

    On Wednesday, Feb. 10, NJICLE will present Webcast - The Top Ten Ethical Dilemmas in Law Practice from 12 to 1:40 p.m.

    Ethical issues lurk in every nook and cranny of practice. That is why it is essential to know the Rules of Professional Conduct and understand how the Supreme Court and the Disciplinary Review Board interpret them. During our program, a distinguished panel, who practice in various legal specialties and who have served on ethics committees and the DRB, will discuss cases and scenarios that focus on the day-to-day ethical conundrums all lawyers face. You will learn about the routines, habits, and systems that can help you avoid running into trouble. Our webcast will help you will develop a more nuanced understanding of practicing law as well as the ethical complexities of running a law practice.
