The three-hour class encompasses a range of ethical pitfalls confronting the newly admitted lawyer. Howard addressed the issue of Civility & Professionalism. The thrust of his presentation was to aspire the applicants to practice their profession with a spirit of civility and professionalism such that they become vigorous advocates, but trustworthy colleagues, in both litigated and non-litigated matters.
