Discover the framework, implications, and ramifications of limited representation with this informative seminar!
Limited representation was presented to relieve the burden on legal aid groups by having private attorneys intervene in a matter for a limited purpose, thus not binding them to represent the client for the entire case. Because limited representation can take place in many legal arenas (including estate planning, eviction matters, foreclosures, and divorce), it is important that you understand the ethical, legal, and practice issues that can arise throughout your limited scope of representation. Topics include: how the rule began and where it stands today; alleviating stress on organizations that provide pro bono services; responsibilities to the court and opposing counsel; obligations to the client; documenting client agreements and preventing malpractice; judicial and client constraints; office management issues; and the business advantages of limited representation. Any attorney wishing to better understand the framework of limited representation, as well as the various implications and ramifications of the rule should it come to pass, will benefit from the information presented throughout this half-day seminar.

Presented by the Illinois State Bar Association Originally presented by the Illinois Academy of Criminology on October 6, 2011 in Chicago, Illinois
Join
us for a thought-provoking discussion of the prosecutor’s role in
seeking justice, from both the practical and policy perspectives.
Under
amended Supreme Court Rule 3.8 of Professional Conduct, prosecutors are
required “to seek justice, not merely to convict.” In this program, an
outstanding faculty of distinguished attorneys and scholars discuss
duties under the current rule. They also discuss whether the rule
should be amended to go further and impose a duty on prosecutors to
seek out potential wrongful convictions.
This eye-opening
course serves as a challenge to all attorneys to remember that justice
must be the goal and that anything less is a misuse of power. Topics
include how to create an atmosphere that accepts the possibility of
wrongful convictions; handling claims of innocence; prevention of
wrongful convictions; making the “tough” calls that invariably arise in
a prosecutor's office; a prosecutor's warning signs; how to recognize
and acknowledge the “vested interests” that operate to view a
conviction as an end in itself; and much more. Program Moderator: Prof. Edward Mogul, City Colleges of Chicago, Chicago
