CLE Credits: 6.0 General CLE credits anticipated, of which 6.0 may be applied to Ethics
This is the fourth presentation of an annual program at Seattle University School of Law initiated at the suggestion and with the support of distinguished alumnus James L. Holman. The program consists of a week-long emphasis on law and ethics, including informal and special class presentations and culminating in a CLE program. During the week, students, faculty, practitioners and legal ethicists are invited to engage in examination of the ethical tensions arising in various aspects of the practice of law and the role of legal education in preparing attorneys to deal with those tensions. The CLE program offers a day-long discussion among leaders of the bar, experienced area practitioners, faculty, and legal ethicists.
