Some ethical questions do not lead to black and white answers. Is it ethical to Google jurors? What constitutes a conflict and how can conflicts be avoided? How can the sticky place between corporate counsel and outside counsel be navigated? Is it ever okay to mislead mock jurors? The ASTC Professional Code can point you in the right direction. In this webinar, Susan Macpherson and Rosalind Greene will lead an interactive discussion of The Code. Tune in to test your knowledge of The Code and apply the principles to the ethical questions faced by trial consultants.Review The Code here before the webinar. This webinar is being sponsored by the American Society of Trial Consultants Professional Education Committee.
