BALC 2 HOUR WEBINAR | Rule §8.4 (g): Speaking of Speech – Let’s Talk About It | 2 Ethics CLE Credits
Presented by: Kathleen Conn, Ph.D., J.D., LL.M.
Words are an attorney’s most valuable asset, verbal or written. However, words are contextual, and their context determines whether they should be protected by the First Amendment. Pennsylvania’s dictates of professional responsibility require adherence to Rule §8.4 (g) Misconduct, a rule that has been debated and repeatedly amended over several decades.
This webinar/ presentation describes the origin and development of the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys and the constitutional protections for their free speech in the context of the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board restrictions, beginning with the Supreme Court’s adoption of an ethics code of conduct and a comparison with Pennsylvania’s disciplinary code for attorneys.
