Ethics and Law Office Management for Paralegals

Understand your paralegal duties to identify and prevent ethical violations and manage the law office.

Paralegals are a valuable part of the law firm's legal team and participate in almost all aspects of supplying legal services to clients. Paralegals can perform multiple tasks and projects under the supervision of a licensed attorney and must be on the front lines to manage the law office and prevent ethics violations. This topic will help paralegals identify crucial ethics issues and traps for the unwary and either prevent these issues from occurring or manage these issues when they occur.
