From Competence to Excellence

The Ethical Imperative for Excellent Client Service (1 hour of Ethics)


Watch at your convenience

View sample from recorded program
The very first rule of the ethics canon calls for lawyers to provide competent representation to clients. Yet, mere competence isn't enough to satisfy our ethical obligations to our clients. We must instead strive for excellence. In this unique webinar, noted legal humorist Sean Carter will highlight the need for excellence in client service and demonstrate the consequences of mediocrity by recounting the sagas of past Ethy Award nominees -- lawyers who earned CLE infamy for the failure to provide excellent client service.
In this webinar, legal humorist Sean Carter will review the competence requirement with an eye towards demonstrating that the ethical canon actually requires far more than mere competence on the part of practitioners. In doing so, he will discuss:

  • The four competencies (skill, preparation, knowledge, thoroughness)
  • The importance of relevant past experience
  • The Preparation Paradox
  • The different kinds of knowledge required by the rules
  • The three keys to diligent representation (avoiding conflicts of interest, over-commitment and procrastination)
This program is eligible for 1 hour of Ethics in OR.
