CLE Program - The Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill: A Look at Maritime, Coverage, Crisis Management, Wildlife, and ADR Issues, May 19th, 8:45 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
The Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill disaster caught attorneys unprepared for
everything from filing initial claims to litigating complicated maritime limitation actions.

 

CLE Program - Legal Ethics Through an Animal’s Eye, May 20th, 3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Must you euthanize a client’s healthy dog?  How do you divide the cat in half in a divorce?  Can you defend a contract for the “adoption” of an animal?  What do you do when your client wants to patent a non-human animal containing human genes?  And where do you look for answers?  These and other ethical dilemmas related to animals will be discussed with audience input.  The panel will discuss the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, how the rules help lawyers resolve these dilemmas, and where the rules fall short.
