SUMMARY:Ethics Inns of Court
DESCRIPTION:Call for Participants – Inns of Court – Victoria Wednesday\, September 29\, 2021 \n  \n  \nThe Inns of Court Victoria is pleased to announce that it will be hosting a 2-hour Zoom webinar on Ethics on September 29th\, 2021. \nWe will have two panelists for this webinar: Kim Johnson of Jawl Bundon LLP and Michael L. Fox of Daune Morris LLP (an international law firm in the US). We are grateful for their presentations. \n  \nTopic: \n  \nBoth Kim Johnson and Michael Fox will be presenting on the following topics: \n  \n\nWhat are laws? A minimum code of conduct – generally for the common good – which can be understood and complied with by all.\n\n  \n\nWhat are ethics? From the Greek word “ethos” refer to established standards within a society of how humans ought to interact with each other – e.g. honesty\, fairness\, etc. – but a somewhat subjective test.   In North America the basis for ethics comes largely from the Constitutions – as over-arching statements of principles.\n\n  \n\nMethods of regulation in the legal industry\, accounting industry and medical industry – e.g. self-regulating\, co-regulating\, independent –  accountants with global  CFA organization with the goal of accurate disclosure in accounting statements\, etc. (cf. Enron)\n\n  \n\nTypes of legal organization – government – large firm – small firm – independent – does the organization/culture affect ethics?\n\n  \n\nLegal governance model in North America – Code of Conduct – State/Provincial Law Societies/Bar Associations\, etc. What do the various Codes say versus what is actually enforced?\n\n  \n\nGlobally – laws vary from locality to locality – e.g. state to state\, province to province. For instance\, in the US litigations (defendants) often want to avoid Texas and Alabama.  What the laws actually say and how the laws are enforced (“you aren’t from around here are you?).\n\n  \n\nDo ethics vary from locality to locality – or is there a common thread? Duty – trust – integrity.  Varying levels of trust – from trusting someone to take out your trash cans when you are on holiday versus trusting someone to look after your children\, etc.\n\n  \n\nEthics from a “micro” level to a “macro” level – e.g. the lawyer’s role in advocating a client’s interest versus the common good?  g. perspective on recent US election litigation.  When does that bright line get crossed and how it is enforced?   If the ends justify the means – when do the means become the ends?\n\n  \n\nClosing remarks – take away from this session? Suggestions for each individual lawyer – as a professional and as a member of the larger community should think about and do – before making a decision.\n\n  \nProfessional Development Credits: This course offers up to 2 hours of Professional Development Credits (See “How to get PD Credit” below). \nWhen:  Wednesday\, September 29th\, 2021 via Zoom Conferencing \nTime: 4:00 in the afternoon \nWhere: At your location\, provided you have internet access \nCost: The cost of the event is $15.00 per person paid by Friday September 24\, 2021\, to the “Victoria Bar Association” \n  \n  \nThere are two options to make payment: \n1.
