I once heard that the legal profession is like a pie-eating contest where the prize is more pie. As lawyers, the more work that you get done, the more pie, or work, that you are assigned.

One of the challenges faced when attempting to treat or assist an individual suffering from a mental illness is a lack of insight into having such an illness. The individual may deny suffering from a mental illness and therefore refuse treatment or the assistance of a family member or loved one, insisting that he/she can function independently, despite evidence to the contrary. The individual may prevent others from accessing medical and financial information, thereby making it impossible to speak to care providers and financial institutions to protect, advocate and plan for the future. Even if the individual has the capacity to sign advance directives such as a Power of Attorney or Health Care Proxy, he/she can either refuse to do so or revoke those documents after execution. The circumstances might require a more restrictive type of intervention.

In-house lawyers are subject to the same ethics rules that govern all attorneys, but some attorneys become in-house counsel with the mistaken belief that legal ethics rules will be less problematic for them.

This program will introduce important ethics principles and rules that in-house counsel should be aware of. It will cover the Rule 1 series of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct.

Electronic communications and e-signatures have amplified the speed and number of contracts entered into everyday.
