SUMMARY:
Family law practice often places professionals in emotionally charged, high-conflict situations that blur the lines between advocacy, ethics, and professional responsibility. This session explores the “collateral damage” that can occur when ethical boundaries are challenged—whether by clients, opposing parties, or even colleagues. Through real-world examples and current board complaint trends, this training will examine common ethical pitfalls, boundary violations, and the professional risks associated with over-identification, dual roles, and failure to document concerns.
Participants will gain insight into strategies for maintaining ethical clarity while navigating the unique complexities of family court cases. Attendees will leave better equipped to protect both their clients and their own professional standing.
