Webinar: Ethical Issues in Working with Pro Bono Clients in 2023

Pro Bono clients are like any other clients in many ways. However, some Pro Bono clients present ethical issues for attorneys that often differ from those presented by fee-paying or contingent fee clients. Lawyers sometimes face difficult questions about defining who the client is, communication with clients, clients with diminished capacity, conflicts with fee-paying clients, and many others. Representation of nonprofit organizations also can present difficult ethical issues not faced with most for-profit organizations.

Webinar: California Cannabis Corporate Law: Navigating the Way Forward

Although still illegal under federal law, 38 states in the U.S. have legalized commercial cannabis for both medicinal and recreational purposes. In September 2023, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommended to the DEA that marijuana be re-scheduled (from Schedule I to Schedule III) under the Controlled Substances Act. In the most recent California legislative session, over two-dozen cannabis reform bills were introduced.
