The Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct – along with the nearly 700 Ethics Opinions interpreting them – are lengthy and full of surprising and unexpected information. Test your knowledge of legal ethics with this interactive quiz – it’s a fun way to broaden your knowledge of the rules.

The Supreme Court of Texas voted to accept most – but not all – of the changes to the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct that were ratified by the State Bar Membership earlier this year. Claude Ducloux will be joining me to bring us up to date on the status of the new rules and what they mean for you and your practice.

For many, the holiday season causes stress, anxiety, and an overindulgence of alcohol and/or drugs. Attorneys are particularly prone to these problems, which too often lead to ethics rules violations and potential grievances. In this program, we’ll get advice on staying physically and mentally healthy from two experts in mental health. I’ll be interviewing the Director of the Texas Lawyers’ Assistance Program (TLAP), Michelle Fontenot, and licensed professional counselor and former TLAP Director Erica Grigg. Both are licensed attorneys who practiced law and understand the mental and emotional demands of the legal profession. Join us for an important and useful discussion of how you can successfully navigate the holidays this year.
