This program will consider various ethical rules related to unbundling of legal services, also known as limited-scope representation and what some have called "a proven method for addressing the needs of justice in our 21st Century courts." It will explore how legal institutions comply with the applicable rules while providing such services. Examples of limited-scope representation include: consultation, such as giving advice and direction; document preparation; and limited representation in court.
Speakers:
Hon. Fern A. Fisher, Deputy Chief Administrative Judge of New York City Courts, Director of NYS Courts Access to Justice Program
L. Joseph Genereux, Partner, Dorsey & Whitney LLP
Sheila A. Hubbard, Executive Director, Volunteer Lawyers Project of the Boston Bar Association
