Discussion
This presentation explores the interplay between the duty of candor and the duty to zealously represent a client. The duties are not conflicting, but it is important to understand the limits of zealous advocacy to avoid real or perceived inadvertent violations of the duty of candor. The presentation will also address the proposed changes to the current rules, and the application of the rules in state and federal court.
