VIDEO – Getting Paid In Times Of Shutdowns And Slowdowns: Lessons We Learned From The Pandemic
Category
MCLE credit: 1 hour MCLE credit
Viewing Time: 57 minutes
We are nearly 2 years after the March 2020 “shelter in place” orders where courts shut down and lawyers scrambled to learn how to practice “virtually.” We are now proficient in conducting meetings, depositions, hearings and mediations virtually. But this radically altered business environment necessarily requires lawyers to focus on how to generate cash flow when trial dates are delayed for a year or more. This program will discuss fee collection issues that lawyers are experiencing because of the “virtual” world we now find ourselves in. We’ll discuss how to structure fee agreements to facilitate payment, how to collect on fees after the case is over, when and how to pursue an attorney’s lien and ethical and practical consideration in structuring and enforcing fee agreements.

Substance Abuse in the Legal Profession: Prevention, Detection, and Treatment
Category
MCLE credit: 1 hour "Competence" MCLE credit
Viewing Time: 60 minutes
In this VIDEO presentation, Mr. Mann provides a review of the brain chemistry of addiction and alcoholism, as well as a discussion of the behavioral and health consequences of the disease. Insights are offered into the personality traits of attorneys and the qualities of the legal profession that combine to make lawyers significantly more susceptible to addiction, and more difficult to treat, than the general population. The presentation includes a case study of an addict attorney, as well as a self-diagnosis exercise for attorneys to utilize if they are concerned that they may have a problem which needs to be addressed. Concluding remarks are directed towards both systemic and individual solutions to the problem, with references to specific strategies and resources available to attorneys. Mr. Mann approaches this very serious topic in a manner that incorporates humor and irony and invites attorneys to engage in a bit of sometimes much-needed self reflection.
