I am a lawyer in the latter part of my 60s and I intend to keep practicing, hopefully for a number of years. What are the ethical considerations an older lawyer or senior member of the bar must think about?
Because of the nature of being a lawyer, many lawyers refuse to accept the fact that they are mortal like everyone else. They tend to think they will continue to practice forever. This is particularly true of trial lawyers. Major firms often have retirement policies, but the small firms or the sole practitioners are unto their own. It is always a shock to hear of a friend or colleague who has died suddenly and is no longer there.
