Join Linden Barnes and Ashley Macknay as they discuss burning ethical questions that may face all lawyers.

Examples of ethical scenarios will be posed and discussed such as:

Your client in a criminal trial is in the witness box under XXN and gives an answer that you know is false.  What do you do?

At a sentencing the prosecutor provides your client’s criminal record to the court and you realise it is incomplete.  Do you tell the Court?

You are acting in a family law matter, and you see your client in a social setting when he/she propositions you? Can you accept?

You have acted for a company for several years, taking instructions from the CEO with whom you have developed a strong working relationship.  The chairman of the Board approaches you for advice on sacking the CEO.  What do you do? 

Take this opportunity to immerse yourself in scenarios and the ethical dilemmas they pose.
