The Knowledge Group Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on Check Your Tone: The Lawyer’s Guide to Civility, Communication & Professionalism

Event Summary:

In today’s increasingly adversarial legal environment, lawyers must advocate zealously while maintaining the professionalism, judgment, and civility expected of the legal profession. The way attorneys communicate—with judges, opposing counsel, clients, colleagues, other legal professionals, and any person—can significantly affect credibility, relationships, litigation outcomes, and the public’s confidence in the justice system.

In this CLE Ethics/Professional Responsibility webinar organized by The Knowledge Group, Douglas S. Lang, Senior Counsel at Carrington, Coleman, Sloman & Blumenthal LLP, and Kelli M. Hinson, Partner at Carrington, Coleman, Sloman & Blumenthal LLP, will examine the critical relationship between civility, communication, ethics, and effective advocacy. Drawing on their experience in legal practice, ethics, professionalism, and continuing legal education, the speakers will explore how lawyers can remain persuasive and appropriately assertive without crossing the line into unnecessary hostility, disrespect, or unprofessional conduct. The program will address practical approaches to maintaining composure under pressure, communicating effectively in contentious matters, and recognizing when aggressive advocacy may create professional or ethical concerns. Participants will also gain insights into judicial expectations, professional responsibility, mentoring, and the role of individual lawyers in promoting a more civil legal profession.

What You Will Learn in this Webinar:

Civility, professional responsibility, and zealous advocacy Judicial expectations for lawyer conduct and courtroom professionalism Effective communication with clients, judges, opposing counsel, and colleagues Managing conflict, difficult interactions, and high-pressure situations Ethical and professional risks of incivility and practical strategies for maintaining composure
