Navigating Civility in Our Contentious Environment: A Roadmap for Credibility, Advocacy, and Professionalism
In an era of increasingly heated advocacy in business litigation, knowing where the line is—and why it matters—has never been more critical. This program breaks down the latest cases, sanctions awards, and Rule 9.7 requirements to show how civility directly affects credibility and client outcomes. You’ll gain practical strategies for staying forceful on the merits without undermining your persuasiveness, fees, or professional standing. Join the discussion to sharpen your advocacy, protect your reputation, and learn how today’s courts are actively enforcing civility. This free (for section members) program provides a final opportunity to get the new Civility Specialty Credit before the MCLE reporting deadline!
This program is approved for 1.0 Civility Credit. Attendees must have participated in the program in its entirety to receive Civility Credit.
Cancellations must be received in writing via fax or email three (3) business days prior to meeting date to receive a refund.
