This course will help you deal with clients, opposing counsel, and the courts in a professional manner, using common sense to make good law and, at the same time, promote integrity, honesty, compassion, kindness, and trust. We will focus on five specific ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct—Rule 1.6, 1.9, 4.4, 5.6 and 7.1—one sample state’s Lawyer’s Creed, which is directed to setting minimum standards for attorney civility, and some real-world cases, including but not limited to In re A.P., 9 Wash. App. 2d 1089 (Wash. Ct. App. 2019). It is not, however, an Ethics program and you will not receive Ethics credit.
