Second Session in a Three-Part CLE Series on
Disability-Related Issues:
Fit to Practice
Thursday, January 29, 2015
Baton Rouge, LA
1.0 Hour Professionalism, 1.0 Hour Ethics Credits
$25.00, Lunch included
In partnership with the Baton Rouge Bar Association, the second in this three-part series, titled "Fit to Practice," focuses on liability and ethics issues in the event an attorney experiences a short or long-term disability. This session is especially relevant to solo and small firm attorneys.
Substance abuse, physical and mental health disability issues affect people of all professions - and lawyers are no exception. In addition to the personal challenges of those suffering from these issues, this brings potential risk to the attorneys as they handle important matters and continue to work in the profession. This session will discuss the risks and ethics/liability issues that attorneys with disabilities face. In addition, it will offer resources available in Louisiana to help practitioners, and give practical advice on avoiding personal and vicarious liability during this process.
