Session Description

The Judges of the Court of Workers’ Compensation Claims will present two hour-and-a-half ethics presentations this year.  This session is built around a skit that raises ethical issues.  The skit will be stopped at opportune times to allow for (1) audience participation of the ethical issues presented in the skit, and (2) consideration of the ethical provisions governing the issues. Subjects to be discussed include:

• Attorney advertising
• Claims by attorneys about their abilities, reputations, and access to medical testimony
• The solicitation of inaccurate testimony by witnesses
• Whether an attorney is insulated from ethical violations by acting through an employee or representative or through family members of the client.
