“Illuminating Legal Limericks: Part I,” presented by attorney Tom Spahn, begins with breakfast at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 30 at the Bryan Simpson U.S. Courthouse.
Sponsored by the Jacksonville Federal Bar Association, the interactive program uses limericks (the last word of which the audience will have to guess) to explore ethics issues involved in lawyers’ practice and their firms.
A commercial litigator and partner with McGuireWoods in Tysons Corner, Virginia, Spahn served on the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility, is a member of the American Law Institute and a fellow of the American Bar Foundation.
Spahn has led more than 2,000 CLE programs throughout the U.S. and in foreign countries.
The program will address topics including unauthorized practice of law and multijurisdictional practice including the definition of legal practice, temporary and virtual practice and choice of ethics rules; law firm creation including law firm names, hiring and noncompetes; law firm operation including paralegals, trust accounts, fee sharing and file ownership; and marketing including content limitations and marketing intrusiveness.
Attendees will receive ethics CLE credit. RSVP by sending an email to [email protected] or visit jaxfedbar.org/events/ to register.
