Overview
This course provides WA lawyers with an essential guide to the Legal Profession Conduct Rules 2010 focusing on fundamental ethical obligations, duties owed to the client and duties owed to third parties.
In the daily whirl of legal practice it is easy to become overly task oriented and lose sight of the bigger picture. However, it is well worth it for lawyers to take the time to familiarise themselves with the PCRs and how they apply to their day to day practice.
Understanding the PCRs helps you to minimise the risk of inadvertently breaching the rules and, consequently, the risk of disciplinary action or other consequences.Â
This course provides an essential guide to the Legal Profession Conduct Rules 2010 (WA). The course explores lawyers’ duties under the PCRs in three main areas:
- Fundamental ethical duties;
- Duties owed to the client; and
- Duties owed to other stakeholders.
