In this introductory program, Zach McGee discusses the California Attorney Guidelines of Civility and Professionalism, which reflect how the California State Bar thinks that lawyers should practice law. But the Guidelines are voluntary, do not create standards of conduct or care, do not supplant any rules or laws that govern attorney conduct and cannot be an independent basis for imposition of discipline or a finding of malpractice. In light of these limitations, how should attorneys think about the Guidelines and should we commit to following them? Rules covered include: ABA Model Rules 1.4, 4.1 & 8.4; California Bus. and Prof. Code ? 6068 (d); and California Attorney Guidelines of Civility and Professionalism (2007).

In this program, Peter Afrasiabi takes on a difficult topic: what standards govern bias by judges and if you believe your judge is biased against you or your client, what can and should you do about it? As you might expect, the answers to these questions involve thorny legal, tactical and ethical issues, and this program gives you the guidance you need should you come face-to-face with a judge whose fairness and impartiality reasonably might be questioned.
