2.0 MCLE credits in Ethics

Co-Sponsored by the Committee on Law Practice Management and the General Practice Section

Lawyers are frequently responsible for managing client funds, but when they fail to segregate and account for these funds, they can face disciplinary sanction. This program teaches you the rules for handling client trust accounts, including your responsibilities under the new New York Rules of Professional Conduct. It just is not worth it to defend yourself in a Grievance Committee investigation.  Even unintentional Irregularities may result in disciplinary action, so it makes sense to learn how to how to protect your firm before a problem arises.  What you do not know can hurt you!
