Increasingly, lawyer civility and congeniality is becoming a thing of the past. Yet, it doesn’t have to be that way. In this humorous presentation, veteran attorney and legal humorist Sean Carter will remind you that zealous advocacy does not require you to be a zealot. In particular, Mr. Carter will discuss practical ways to:
• Reduce the hostility in interactions with even the most difficult opposing counsel;
• Increase camaraderie among colleagues;
• Diffuse tensions between warring clients;
• Secure accommodations from opposing counsel;
• Structure more mutually beneficial arrangements with clients;
• Maintain proper decorum before the court;
• Assist in providing pro bono legal services;
• Serve the bar and the legal profession; and
• Provide service to the community at large.
