This Course
Attorneys are at a much higher risk than other professionals for alcohol use disorder, depression, anxiety, and stress. In this course, an expert on lawyer discipline, Mr. Wrenn, will discuss attorney addiction and ethical concerns. He begins this course by reviewing the historical knowledge of the foundational principles of professional regulation of lawyers, the evolution of professional standards, and the three basic methods for proving "misconduct" as grounds for disciplinary action.
Mr. Wrenn will explain the civil standards of care and how they are different from legal ethics standards. Lastly, he will identify and define the functional pillars of the system for professional regulation of the conduct of lawyers: enforcement, protection, remediation, education, and prevention.
