The American Bar Association (ABA) Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility will be offering a live webinar entitled "Ethics and Professional Responsibility: How to Comply with ABA's New Language Access Guidance" from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm on February 28, 2022. Deepika Ravi and Hilary Gerzhoy of Harris, Wiltshire & Grannis LLP will discuss how the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility views a lawyer's obligations when working with clients with whom the lawyer does not share a common language or with clients with whom the lawyer's communication may be impeded due to a client's hearing, speech, or vision disability. The program will go through the ABA's recent guidance and analyze some of the relevant Rules of Professional Conduct implicated -- Rules 1.4, 1.1, 8.4 and 5.3, and will also analyze ethics opinions that have grappled with a lawyer's obligation to supervise experts and provide practical tips for compliance.
The registration fee for the webinar is $129. Those interested in registering for the webinar, can do so here.
