HOW TO AVOID BEING THE TARGET OF A LEGAL PRACTICE CLAIM

INTRODUCTION

The rules governing professional conduct are extensive and complex. In addition to attending these mandatory continuing education seminars to keep abreast of our ethical responsibilities as lawyers, all are urged to read the rules and the comments more than once each year. In addition, you should read each and every attorney discipline case that the Supreme Court issues. There is simply no substitute for this. While this material is designed to be instructive, it is not exclusive. Many of our comments and suggestions are simply that - suggestions. What we cannot emphasize enough is that each and every one of you must read the rules and Supreme Decisions for yourself to guide you in your practice.
