This course expands on the popular basic ethics course offered on NALA Campus Live! since the program began.  It focuses on complex ethics issues faced by paralegals and legal assistants working in law firms, governmental agencies and corporations, with particular emphasis on the unauthorized practice of law, conflicts of interest and confidentiality.  The rules, regulations, and responsibilities guiding the ethical behavior of paralegal professionals are discussed, including case law, the ABA Model Rules and NALA’s Code of Ethics and Guidelines for the Utilization of Legal Assistants.
