Paralegal's Guide to Client Confidentiality Rules

Increase your understanding of the rules of confidentiality to protect your clients and your team.

Many clients struggle to understand the importance of confidentiality and how being completely honest assists their legal team when it comes to representation. Also, legal professionals can often confuse the ethical mandate of maintaining confidentiality with the evidence rule concerning attorney-client privilege. This presentation will review both of these historic ethical mandates--explaining how these concepts differ and why the concepts are so important in the delivery of legal services.
