Judge Booras’ Group presented “ETHICS-WHAT YOU MUST DO. PROFESSIONALISM-WHAT YOU SHOULD DO.”
In recognition of October as “Professionalism Month,” the panel discussed professionalism, emphasizing professionalism in the practice of law. Among many other things, the panel explained that while legal ethics set forth the standards of conduct required of an Attorney; professionalism includes what is more broadly expected. Professionalism concerns the knowledge and skill of the law faithfully employed in the service of client and public good, and entails what is more broadly expected of attorneys. The panel and members explored these issues with engaging demonstrations and hypotheticals.
