Ethical Considerations of Multijurisdictional Practice

Gain a better understanding of rules related to multijurisdictional practice and identify tasks that constitute the practice of law.

Generally, a lawyer may not 'practice law' outside of their licensed jurisdiction. While this seems like a fairly simple rule to abide by, it is also a fairly simple rule to misunderstand. Occasionally, a lawyer will make phone calls outside of their jurisdiction or send emails or letters outside of their jurisdiction. These tasks can be construed as 'practicing law' and may result in a violation of a lawyer's ethical obligations. This presentation will discuss the rules related to multijurisdictional practice and identify tasks that constitute the practice of law. This presentation will also provide guidance on what to do when faced with a matter outside of a lawyer's licensed jurisdiction.
