“Refresher on Ethics of Trial Work in a Courtroom”
Time: 2:30-4:30 p.m. CST

As health officials continue to try to get the pandemic under control, the legal community is trying to get back to business as usual. But is it? Lawyers’ courtroom practice and procedure skills and knowledge may need a bit of sharpening. It is time for lawyers to brush up on the ethical rules that are in place when handling trials. Through hypotheticals, this two-hour program will deal with areas of concern that lawyers come across every day. A panel will answer questions on how best to handle and defuse what could turn into unnecessary confrontational situations. From discovery issues to closing arguments, hypotheticals will be presented at various trial stages with attendees answering polling questions on best practices. It should also be noted that effective January 1, 2023, the Illinois Supreme Court has enacted an updated Illinois Code of Judicial Conduct for the first time in almost two decades, bringing it in line with national standards by addressing the use of social media and other technology that didn’t exist at the code’s last major update in 1993. How some of these Rules dovetail with trial lawyers in a courtroom will also be discussed.
The speakers in this program are:
- James Grogan, Adjunct Ethics Professor, Loyola College of Law, and former ARDC Deputy Administrator and Chief Counsel
- Christopher R. Heredia, CNA Risk Control Consulting Director, Global Specialty, Lawyers Professional Liability; Former Litigation Counsel for the ARDC
- Hon. April G. Troemper, Circuit Court Judge, Seventh Judicial Circuit at Macoupin County and Member, Illinois Judicial Ethics Committee (IJEC)
