The Knowledge Group, a leading producer of regulatory-focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: Check Your Tone: The Lawyer’s Guide to Civility, Communication & Professionalism. This event is scheduled for October 23, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET.
New York City, NY, October 21, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Event Summary:
In today’s increasingly adversarial legal environment, lawyers must advocate zealously while maintaining the professionalism, judgment, and civility expected of the legal profession. The way attorneys communicate—with judges, opposing counsel, clients, colleagues, other legal professionals, and any person—can significantly affect credibility, relationships, litigation outcomes, and the public’s confidence in the justice system.
In this CLE Ethics/Professional Responsibility webinar organized by The Knowledge Group, Douglas S. Lang, Senior Counsel at Carrington, Coleman, Sloman & Blumenthal LLP, and Kelli M. Hinson, Partner at Carrington, Coleman, Sloman & Blumenthal LLP, will examine the critical relationship between civility, communication, ethics, and effective advocacy. Drawing on their experience in legal practice, ethics, professionalism, and continuing legal education, the speakers will explore how lawyers can remain persuasive and appropriately assertive without crossing the line into unnecessary hostility, disrespect, or unprofessional conduct. The program will address practical approaches to maintaining composure under pressure, communicating effectively in contentious matters, and recognizing when aggressive advocacy may create professional or ethical concerns. Participants will also gain insights into judicial expectations, professional responsibility, mentoring, and the role of individual lawyers in promoting a more civil legal profession.
What You Will Learn in this Webinar:
Civility, professional responsibility, and zealous advocacy
Judicial expectations for lawyer conduct and courtroom professionalism
Effective communication with clients, judges, opposing counsel, and colleagues
