Recent Trends in Lawyer Discipline and Ethical Takeaways
Call Number:
Pub. Info: NACLE 2025
Study Program Note: Current / Ethics
Event ID : 124774
It seems to be harder and harder to define something that use to seem so obvious – Attorney Misconduct. This CLE presentation will attempt to shine a clear focus on growing concerns about behavior within the profession. These are concerns shared not only by the profession and but also by the general public. Once lawyers and judges were held in high respect but recent behavior by lawyers and judges have severely tarnished that image. Judges as well as practicing lawyers are finding their way to front page of news outlets with outlandish personal behavior. Then rather than recognizing the behavior as misconduct under the rule they are suggesting that it should be justified for social and political reasons far afield from the rules of judicial and attorney professional conduct. We will start our review with ABA Model Rule 8.4 which has been adopted in most every state and see how it is being applied. We will analyze some of the recent justifications that have been offered as excuses from following the well established rules. Finally we will discuss the future of the rule against misconduct from both the professional and practical view point of the modern systems of practice. There will be plenty of scenarios to test ones understanding of the rule. The seminar may raise more questions than it answers but it will direct the attendees to the Law and the Rules of Professional Conduct.

Internet and Sports Gambling: A “Secret” Addiction No More
Call Number:
Pub. Info: NACLE 2025
Study Program Note: Current / Ethics
Event ID : 124775
NACLE CLE : 1.0 Ethics CLE Credits. Expires 07/16/28
The statistics are compelling and clearly indicate that 1 out of 3 attorneys will likely have a need for substance use or mental health services at some point in their careers. What about that “other” addiction – Gambling? In 2018, the United States Supreme Court, in Murphy Vs. NCAA, held that sports gambling was legal in all of the United States. By 2019, many states began approving both traditional and sports betting, making on-line gambling accessible by cell phone, computer, and tablets. As the world changed in 2020 with the onset of work from home law practices due to COVID-19, isolation and easy access to gambling followed. With it came the compulsive gambler. Internet gambling and Sports betting apps are now an everyday part of watching television. Whether these forms of gambling are ever “risk free” may depend upon the nature of the risk involved. The connection between compulsive gambling , financial crimes and self-harm is compelling. This CLE program will explore not only Gambling Disorder, but also the connection between gambling and the more well-known forms of impairment and why lawyers are at higher risk to develop problems. The results are startling.
