Clients in Crisis: Hosted by Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers

Current events have disrupted lawyers’ professional and personal lives as attorneys and their clients feel the effects of the pandemic and social unrest. Attorneys must manage their own emotions while simultaneously being sensitive and responsive to their clients. This program will identify normal feelings, reactions, and behaviors, discuss relationships and boundaries, and identify causes for concern. A lawyer must be able to recognize if diminished capacity will impact the representation and act accordingly. What is the lawyer’s role, responsibility, and opportunity when working with a potentially impaired client? What if the issue is not with a client but with a colleague? This program will provide an ethical framework as well as practical guidance and resources for lawyers facing these questions.
