The course will also cover legal recourse outside the platform, including DMCA takedown notices and potential litigation for copyright infringement or bad faith claims.

Whether you're a seasoned attorney or just starting, this course will provide valuable tools to help you enhance your voir dire skills and achieve better trial results.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain the law of jury selection
• Prepare for voir dire

The ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct focus primarily on a lawyer's duties and ethical obligations to external parties. However, it does little to suggest what duties and ethical obligations lawyers owe to themselves. The premise of this program is that attorneys can best fulfill their moral obligations by taking care of themselves first (i.e., putting their oxygen mask on first). Furthermore, this program expands upon said, often neglected, duties and ethical obligations lawyers owe to themselves. It also focuses on the negative consequences that often result when lawyers neglect these duties to themselves.

Attendees will learn that change is possible and doesn’t have to be this way. Attendees will know that waiting for things to fall apart is unnecessary before making appropriate, positive, beneficial changes in one’s life and career. They will also learn that it is almost never too late to start making appropriate, positive, beneficial changes in one’s life and career and that the best time to start making positive, beneficial changes is NOW. Attendees of the program will be introduced to a proven system of personal development that sets appropriate guidelines for improving the quality of their lives and careers. Said personal development system will also help attorneys set proper guidelines for better representing their clients, as suggested by the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct.

Attorneys who frequently experience stress in their job, have experienced burnout, or those who believe that they could benefit from viewing alternative ways to “dig themselves out of the trenches” are encouraged to attend.

This program suits attorneys at any level in any legal field who want to improve their quality of life and careers.

Learning Objectives: 

• Evaluate the purpose behind the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct and what ethical obligations an attorney might owe to themselves under said Model Rules
• Explore the benefits of “long-term” instead of “short-term” thinking
• Examine ways to embrace change and the benefits of doing so
• Recognize that attorneys have limited resources (including time and energy) and discuss how to use them more wisely
• Implement ways to think more positively and better balance work and life
• Develop and foster not only healthier minds but also bodies and spirits
