Paralegal Ethics: Help Your Paralegals Understand Their Professional Responsibilities

Join the IPMA on Thursday, June 16 at 2:15 PM EDT during a one hour webinar on Paralegal Ethics:  Help Your Paralegals Understand Their Professional Responsibilities.Ensuring that your staff has adequate knowledge about ethics issues is an important responsibility of every paralegal manager. Offering ethics education doesn't have to be a dry recitation of ethics rules by the professional responsibility partner. This session will offer insight on the most important ethics concepts which should be covered and how you can make training an interactive event where paralegals absorb important ethics lessons that are reinforced through real-life case studies and all-too familiar hypotheticals. Increased paralegal utilization also increases the chances that ethical missteps may happen. Don't let your firm become the next headline - get trained to be an effective ethics educator for your paralegals.

Upon completion, attendees will be able to:
*Identify key ethics concepts which should be included in training.
*Navigate to resources that can provide real-life examples of behaviors to be avoided.
*Utilize interactive training techniques that will help to increase retention of ethics concepts.

The fee for this program is $50.00 USD per virtual seat for IPMA Members and $75.00 USD for Non-Members.
