About This Course
Every day, lawyers practice in jurisdictions where they are not licensed. They advise clients who live there, respond to calls and emails from them, draft agreements that will be implemented there, even try cases there. This has led to a host of regulatory issues in recent years, as the courts, bar regulators, and ethics committees struggle to keep pace with modern commerce.
In this program, we will use hypothetical scenarios to explore the rules for practicing law across.state lines, remote practice and virtual law firms. Are you violating the unauthorized practice rules? Take this course and find out!
