No, it's not a four-letter-word (just because our speaker is from New Jersey doesn't mean he's crass)! It's the one word that has been used to cover up all manner of sins in the practice of law: "Zealous". So much so, in fact, that there has been a movement to eliminate that word from the practice altogether. Join "the CLE Performer" Stuart Teicher, Esq., as he explains why pushing the boundaries is not the ethical way to practice law in-house. Stuart will also evaluate other issues relating to conflicts, technology, and mental health for lawyers.
