Description
There are unwritten rules of professionalism in baseball based upon respect for the game. One of these rules is that you do not break up a no hitter by bunting in the ninth inning. However, in the legal profession, courts have noted a lack of professionalism and civility among attorneys even though these traits are the mainstays of our profession and the foundations upon which lawyers practice law. In this interactive presentation, attorneys will learn the unwritten rules of professionalism in baseball and other sports and whether these same concepts of professionalism can apply in the legal profession.
We will discuss the Lawyer's Creed and Aspirational Statement on Professionalism. We will discuss rules of professionalism, how to deal with difficult attorneys and how to improve professionalism in our daily practice of law.
