About the Program
Avoiding the Big, Bad State Bar: How Attorneys Can Stay Out of Trouble
Most lawyers are afraid of the State Bar. This is understandable: the Bar doesn’t exist to throw parades and hand out candy; they disbar people. Moreover, most folks don’t know how the Bar operates or what types of issues get them in serious trouble, including the unauthorized practice of law and trust accounting issues. Let’s remedy that. This CLE will make you less afraid of the North Carolina State Bar by explaining (1) how to avoid being prosecuted for violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct, (2) how the Bar works, and (3) what to do if you are the object of an ethics or misconduct prosecution.
Technology Tips to Power Your Practice
Technology always seems to move fast and this last year has overdelivered on that score. Artificial Intelligence has begun its march into all the familiar technologies that lawyers rely on making this feel like a Brave New World indeed. The presenters in this fast-paced CLE will provide tips to help you understand and harness the technology advances available to lawyers in large firms and small, and along the way help you power up your practice, ratchet down your risk, and crank up your client communication tools. The session will help you keep abreast of the benefits and risks of the dizzying array of technology solutions available for your firm and make sure you are meeting your duty of technology competence under RPC 1.1[8].
Meditation and Mindfulness for Lawyers: Science or Self-Help Snake Oil
Wellness experts and self-help gurus are making extraordinary claims about the potential benefits of meditation and mindfulness. This presentation will define the practices of meditation and mindfulness and explore the differences between the two and take an honest look at the potential benefits. We will examine the neuroscience behind these practices, delving into concepts like neuroplasticity, negativity bias, amygdala hijack, and the parasympathetic nervous system. We will then explore specific mindfulness practices that have the potential to improve your overall well-being and your effectiveness as a lawyer.
Mindfulness and meditation are only two wellness practices among many that can be used by lawyers to improve mental and physical health and performance. We will look briefly at how mindfulness can be combined with other wellness practices to optimize resilience and flourishing.
Who knows what will happen in 2024? One thing is certain: Lawyers Mutual will be here, through thick or thin, good times or bad, to provide protection and peace of mind to North Carolina law firms, just as it has been doing since 1978.
