The Attorney Disciplinary Process in the Time of the Pandemic

While the worldwide pandemic we have been experiencing since mid-March has put a stop to many activities, the Attorney Disciplinary Process has, of necessity, continued, albeit in different and innovative ways. Please join representatives from each of the four Departments of the Appellate Division, all seasoned veterans in the area of Attorney Discipline, in a panel discussion moderated by the Honorable Alan D. Scheinkman, Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department, as they explain how the Attorney Disciplinary Process in each Department has evolved in light of challenges presented by the COVID19 crisis. Recent amendments to the Rules of Professional Conduct Rule and recent precedents in this area will also be discussed.
