| This program will cover three broad topics: (1) An exploration of the ethical rules, both the Ohio Code of Professional Responsibility and the ABA Model Rules, on what constitutes the unauthorized practice of law and the issues to consider when an Ohio attorney acts in a legal capacity in another state; (2) What exactly is professionalism? What are the relevant considerations and limits? Does a prospective client want a lawyer who is professional or can the client even detect the difference; is the client more interested in an effective lawyer as opposed to a professional one?; (3) The who, how and why of the impaired lawyer: the causes, treatment and prevention of impairment are well documented and will be discussed. What about the detection of impairment, though? How can you be sure and how sure do you need to be?

| This seminar will bring a fresh perspective to every trial lawyer preparing their voir dire in a criminal or civil case. With a jury empanelled and presided over by a real judge, four veteran trial lawyers will conduct an actual voir dire presentation. The lawyers will address: burden of proof in criminal cases — getting the jury to understand what “beyond a reasonable doubt” really means; deconstructing the preconceived notions and anti-plaintiff bias that many prospective jurors carry into the courtroom; indoctrinating the jury to large verdicts in employment cases; and preparing jurors for uncorroborated accusations (“he said-she said” scenarios) in criminal cases. Additionally, each lawyer will conduct a short (5- to 10-minute) voir dire highlighting a technique that has proven successful in past trials.
