​REMOTE PROGRAM: Part 2 of 7 Wealth Management Series: Medicare Made Simple with Chapter

Course Number: C3424NC02W
Duration: 1 hour 
Date: October 3, 2023
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Medicare is a complex, convoluted program that takes time and proper guidance to understand. According to research conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 57% of Medicare enrollees do not review or compare their coverage options annually, and 46% of enrollees reported never or rarely revisiting their plans. Herein lies the problem: the Medicare system hinges on consumers reviewing and evaluating plans, comparing options, and making changes to obtain the best prices and coverage. In this session, we will bring in a specialist to simplify the nuances of Medicare and help equip you with the tools needed to identify and optimize the coverage for your individualized needs. 

Pre-registration for this program is required. As always, please feel free to share this invitation with colleagues. D.C. Bar membership is not required to attend. Non-members will need to create a profile to register and access the content.
 
 This remote program will be hosted on the Zoom platform. You will receive access information from D.C. Bar Communities staff the afternoon prior to the program. The Zoom access information should not be shared with other, as registration is required.

Clarence Darrow's Legal Ethics Lessons for Today's More Ethical Lawyers 2023

Help Meet Your In-person Ethics & Professionalism CLE Obligations by Attending This One-of-a-Kind Experience!
Credit(s): 3 Ethics and Professional Responsibility (60-minute hour)

Watch this brief clip for a preview of what you can expect as Jack Marshall and Paul Morella use Darrow's words and life events to contrast the modern and still evolving concepts of what constitutes the ethical practice of law.
Credits: 3.0 Ethics & Professionalism Credit Hours

Description: For many decades, American lawyers have confirmed in polls that Clarence Darrow, the progressive trial lawyer famous for his passionate closing arguments, the Scopes trial, his defense of mercy as an alternative to the death penalty, and more, was the greatest practitioner of the art of law in United States history. Yet Darrow largely ignored the Canons of Ethics, and many of his tactics would have earned him mistrials and bar discipline today. Nonetheless, Clarence Darrow provides much to learn and ponder in his legal ethics, and in some cases, his lack of them. Using Darrow’s words and life events to contrast the modern and still evolving concepts of what constitutes the ethical practice of law, our distinguished faculty will explore such issues as:
Can an unethical citizen be an ethical lawyer?  
The ethics of creative practice: when the Rules don’t have all the answers.
Conflicts of interest
Justice vs. the Rules
The multi-jurisdictional practice problem
Pre-unethical conditions 
Professional independence and personal conflicts
Jury nullification and the limits of zealous representation
Mission lawyering 
“Hearing too much” 
The ethics of using and abusing experts
Positional conflicts 
Client fraud
Withdrawal
Technological competence
