Overview

Almost all lawyers engage in multi-jurisdictional practice (MJP). Some engage in MJP on a regular basis. Failure to understand the rules surrounding MJP can lead not only to ethics violations, but also to criminal charges. Understanding these rules allows the lawyer to assist a broader range of clients. This lecture will address the complex rules that govern MJP so that you can determine when you can practice in other jurisdictions and also when it is appropriate to allow out-of-state lawyers to associate with you in your jurisdiction.


Learning Objectives:

  1. Examine the ethical rules governing multi-jurisdictional practice
  2. Identify when an attorney can practice in other jurisdictions
  3. Explore when it is appropriate to allow out-of-state lawyers to associate with you in your jurisdiction

Very engaging. Very informative. The presenter appears to be extremely well versed in the subject. Just a few slides had too much info on them but it was admittedly useful. Very good course.
