You've Been Served, Now What? Responding Ethically to Disciplinary Complaints [CC] — ETHICS 60 min

Getting a bar complaint can ruin a lawyer's day, regardless of whether there's any merit at all to the charges. How the lawyer responds can be very important, not only to the way the complaint is handled by the disciplinary authority, but to the lawyer's own mental health. Tune in for a helpful guide to an appropriate response.

Closed Captioned.

A veteran bar counsel and a veteran respondent’s lawyer will answer key questions about how a lawyer should respond:

What are the charges (ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct)?
What’s the process (ABA Model Rules for Lawyer Disciplinary Enforcement)?
Do ABA Model Rules 8.3, 8.4 an 8.5 apply?
Do you need to hire a lawyer?
How much investigating should the lawyer do before responding?
What tone should the lawyer take in response – outrage at a frivolous complaint, or a quiet just-the-facts tone?
And what if the lawyer did do something wrong – should the lawyer acknowledge a mistake?
