Committee on Professional Ethics
Since 1959, the Professional Ethics Committee has provided counsel to generations of New York lawyers. Now, in recognition of that anniversary, the committee will provide two hours of CLE in a unique presentation from former committee chairs, tracing the changes that bring us to the Rules now in place.
