Ethics of Modern Lawyering — Being Good Is Easy!

Maybe you’ve heard the myth that in order to ethically represent your client, you must be responsible for their entire case from start to finish.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the Rules of Professional Conduct and explore the many ways Modern Law represents the best of the legal profession.
