What happens when a client sorta, kinda lies? Is it really even a lie? And what’s a lawyer to do about it? Well, it depends. Is it in a tribunal or a negotiation? Is it a statement of fact or law?

Topics include: a deep dive into Rule 3.3, an even deeper dive into Rule 3.3’s Comment [10] and a shallow swim around Rule 1.0(m) and the definition of a tribunal — discussion of Rule 4.1. Join your colleagues for this webcast on Oct. 12 from 9-10 a.m. CDT and earn one dual CLE credit.
