Best of NJICLE Replay
Don't miss this opportunity to catch up on the Recusal and Disqualification Made Easy seminar you missed!
Earn ethics credits with this replay while you master the rules that govern situations when attorneys must disqualify themselves from handling a case and judges must recuse themselves from hearing a case.
LITIGATORS… How many times has your case been assigned to be heard by a judge who you believe has a conflict, i.e. personal friends with one of the parties, previously represented one of the parties, or in some way is prejudiced against your client? Judges can be requested to disqualify themselves by either party or counsel, or they can disqualify themselves on their own if a conflict of interest exists. At this all-new crash course, you’ll pick up a complete understanding of the issues that may justify recusal and a virtual tool chest of ideas to use when you find yourself in a difficult situation.
TRANSACTIONAL ATTORNEYS… How about a conflict that may exist if you represent certain clients? It is critical that you understand the rules that govern when you must disqualify yourself from situations that pose a conflict.
This highly requested replay will enhance your ability to recognize recusal and disqualification situations. Knowing how to handle these situations can protect you from potential malpractice claims and ensure your good standing status as an attorney.
Register today to earn 1/2 of your required ethics credit from the convenience of your office or home, while you master the rules that govern situations when attorneys must disqualify themselves from handling a case, and judges must recuse themselves from hearing a case.
