3.0 Ethics CLE Credits
Presented by: Nelson Page, Bar Counsel, Alaska Bar Association
This CLE presents a survey of the hot issues in legal ethics in Alaska. Included in the presentation will be a discussion of conflicts in the modern age, the application of modern technology to the legal ethics environment, changes in the marketing and delivery of legal services, and special ethics issues facing government practitioners. Other matters to be covered will include the ethics of handling money – yours and the clients – and what to do if you are accused of an ethical violation. Satisfies the annual Ethics CLE requirement for Alaska practitioners. Don’t get trampled by an ethics stampede at the end of the year!
