The occasionally spongy nature of ethics has, in this 21st century, become an important factor for how organizations, for-profit and non-profit alike, are viewed– and sometimes how well or poorly they operate. Unlike much of the law, ethical standards may seem far more subjective and different behaviors are more open to argument as to whether they do or do not cross the line. And, unlike the law, there is not a court or other authority of last resort outside the organization, though it is certainly the case that the application of organizationally defined ethical standards may well lead to lawsuits. Not surprisingly, lawyers may be called upon to advise about or draft or interpret a Code of Ethics and, as a part of any legal check-up, the review of an existing Code or the lack of a Code may be an appropriate subject. In this practical webinar, you will receive step-by-step guidance on how to approach drafting and enforcing codes of ethics in your role as a lawyer.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Outline reasons for a client organization to have or not have a Code.
- Identify Client Goals for a Code and identify stakeholders to have input in the development or amendment of a Code.
- Determine how requests for stakeholder input may be constrained and processed.
- Assess practical Risks in developing a Code.
- Review elements and underlying principles of a Code.
- Address procedural Considerations for Enforcement and drafting considerations.
- Effective adopt and implement a Code.

What is a webinar?
A webinar is simply a seminar that you attend online. You either watch a live video feed of the speaker or listen to the speaker through your computer, tablet or phone’s audio. You see the speaker’s slides, videos, and other presentation materials on your screen.
Can I ask questions during the webinar?
Yes. During the live webinar, you may submit questions and comments and the speaker will respond verbally. For a recorded webinar, your questions will be emailed to the speaker. You will typically receive a response from the speaker within two business days.
Can I attend using a tablet or smartphone?
Yes. You may attend a webinar using a computer, tablet or smartphone.
If I can’t attend a webinar live, can I view the recording later?
Yes. Shortly after each live program ends, we send all webinar registrants a link to the webinar recording. You can view the recording as many times as you like after the live webinar for up to 12 months.
What is an on-demand webinar?
An on-demand webinar is a previously recorded webinar that you may view at any time after your purchase for up to 12 months.
Can I stop a recorded webinar and start it later at the same point?
