Program:
Legal ethics is now one of the most dynamic and difficult areas of law. Every year, there are significant changes to and new interpretations of existing ethics rules, all of which can profoundly affect your daily practice. This presentation will help you keep up to date and will provide a fast-paced refresher on the foundational Rules of Professional Conduct governing our daily lives as practicing attorneys. We will also explore the most common ethics violations attorneys make – often inadvertently – to provide guidance on avoiding these most common mistakes.
Presenter: John J. Ambrosio
John J. Ambrosio was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in the Bronx. He headed off for the Mid-West for College and Law School and never returned. Upon graduating law school, he secured a job with the State Public Defender’s Office where he remained for three years. He then opened a private practice and was involved in that practice for 36 years. His practice consisted of criminal defense cases in State and Federal Courts and ran the gambit from appointed homicides to white collar cases. He was the first President and a founding member of the Kansas Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He lectures to Kansas Bar and Criminal Defense groups.
For the last twenty years, John has handled many cases concerning lawyers involved in serious disciplinary cases. He regularly appears before the Disciplinary Board and the Supreme Court on serious disciplinary matters. John joined Morris Laing in 2018 and currently practices solely in lawyer discipline.
