The practice of family law often involves high volume, high stakes, and high emotions. These stressful components of practice can create unique pressures on family law attorneys to act in ways that amplify hostility in an already adversarial process or perhaps unknowingly run afoul of ethical responsibilities. Join family law practitioners for a review of applicable ethics rules, common missteps that could result in disciplinary action, and tips for tackling incivility day to day from colleagues and clients.
