Ethics and Professional Responsibility
CPD Points 1
How do lawyers’ duties to the court interplay with those owed to clients? This course explores lawyers' ethical duties in the context of litigation and explores the tension between these different obligations.
This course examines contemporary rules of professional conduct in the context of litigation. There is a particular focus on the obligations owed by a practitioner to the court, and the interplay of these duties with those owed to clients and opponents in litigation.
Practical examples and case studies are used to illustrate the tension between these duties and encourage practitioners to consider how they would respond in different situations.
This course utilises authorities and judgments from a number of Australian jurisdictions, including recent High Court decisions. The course also examines some of the contemporary issues which are influencing and altering the professional obligations of legal practitioners at a national level.
