By now, you should have received a letter from me, as Membership vice-chair, welcoming you to another year.
During the day-to-day course of practicing law, our ethical duties and responsibilities are an ever-present backdrop to the substantive issues we deal with on behalf of our clients. Often, those instances where we must address an “ethical” question are quickly resolved by ourselves or through mechanisms within our local networks. However, there are times when we each face substantive ethical issues that are much more complex and thought provoking.
Additionally, as the practice of law for the environmental practitioner evolves, all of us must find appropriate approaches and resolutions within the context of our professional duties that are consistent not only with our practice areas, but also with the ongoing changes in our ethical obligations.
It is the goal of the ethics committee to provide section members a resource to address the ever-changing challenges of practicing law. Should you have an issue, question or topic you would like to see addressed, please contact me, or any of the Ethics Committee vice-chairs. Certainly, feel free to contact me at any time with suggestions.
