How would you rate the value of the materials provided as part of the course?

I did not get much from the boundaries presentation.

Loved the section of setting boundaries - wish we would hear more attorneys talk about doing so.

The last segment was the best.

Both presentations were well done and informative. The presentation on implicit bias is thought provoking for attorneys. Christian Castle's presentation is an excellent primer on attorney engagements, problems that can arise if not handle early in the representation, etc. His handout materials are excellent as well.

A Legal Ethics Holiday Season Wish List
It’s the Holiday Season, y’all, and even law firm General Counsels and Risk Managers have Holiday Wish Lists…of what they hope their colleagues already know about the Rules of Professional Conduct and how to apply them. This presentation explores many things that are, no doubt, on those Wish Lists, including a working understanding of the conflict of interest rules, tools to help navigate those rules (like engagement letters and “I’m Not Your Lawyer” letters), the difference between the attorney-client privilege and the lawyer’s ethical duty of confidentiality, and a proper appreciation of the application of the “No Contact” Rule. The presentation also provides some practical tips to help create a culture of sound risk management practices to help keep the attendee from getting on the General Counsel’s or Risk Manager’s Naughty List.
