Ethical Considerations in Public Sector Law

The ABA’s Government and Public Sector Lawyers Division will present Ethical Considerations in Public Sector Law on Friday, October 19, 2012 from 2:30 – 4:30 pm at the University of Colorado Law School. The program focuses on the unique ethical issues confronted by public lawyers using an entertaining, interactive format. Panelists dramatize short, illustrative hypothetical scenarios with a discussion period following each skit. Topics include: scope of representation, public sector attorney-client privilege issues, candor toward the tribunal, responsibilities of supervisory lawyers, special conflicts of interest for government employees, meritorious claims and contentions, and more. The Division has presented this program many times across the country and it has been universally well-received by government lawyers eager for ethics programming designed specifically for them. CLE credit, including Ethics credit, is being sought for Colorado. To register or obtain additional information about this program, contact Angela Petro (angela.petro@americanbar.org).
