Overview

Ethics Compliance Crusher is a practical, ethics-focused program that examines the issues that most often keep lawyers up at night and how those concerns affect professional judgment, well-being, and compliance with the Rules of Professional Conduct. Drawing on real-world attorney ethics hotline inquiries, the program explores the ten most common and anxiety-producing ethical issues faced by practicing lawyers, including conflicts of interest, client communications, confidentiality, trust accounting, competence, and supervision. Attendees will gain practical guidance on how these issues arise in everyday practice, why they are frequently misunderstood, and how to identify and address them before they escalate into disciplinary or malpractice problems.

Presented from both an ethics and Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers (LCL) perspective, the program also addresses the connection between unresolved ethical stress and mental health challenges and substance misuse in the legal profession. Attendees will learn about free, confidential LCL resources available to Pennsylvania attorneys and their families and will be introduced to evidence-based strategies for managing stress and improving decision-making, including a hands-on introduction to mindfulness and the science of it.
