To Represent or Not to Represent: Evaluating Child Welfare Case Conflicts
Event Information
About this event
Nevada-licensed or emeritus-certified attorneys can earn 1.0 general Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit from this free, online webinar.
Evaluating conflicts in a child welfare case can be tricky and time consuming, especially when the child’s story is compelling. Even though the potential/current/former client is a minor, the Nevada Rules of Professional Conduct governing conflicts still apply. This class will provide an overview of evaluating conflicts of interest, using a few scenarios that commonly arise in abuse/neglect cases.
The webinar will be over RingCentral and presented by Amy Honodel, Xavier Planta, and Haley Box of Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada. All attorneys must have at least one active pro bono Children's Attorneys Project (CAP) case to receive CLE credit. Select a case at www.lacsnprobono.org.
