Please join Miles & Stockbridge and Legal Services of Northern Virginia for an evening charity golf tournament at TopGolf Loudoun on September 23. The event will feature 2.0 hours of Ethics CLE, great food and drink, prizes, and networking opportunities with local professionals. All skill levels are welcome! Golf Pro Yong Joo will be at the event to provide informal lessons and tips to participants or you can participate in a “challenge the pro” contest.

All proceeds benefit Legal Services of Northern Virginia and its Veterans Law Project.

The Ethics CLE will be presented by Tom Spahn from 4 – 6 p.m. and will cover:

Confidentiality: Part I (Strength and Scope of the Duty)

This interactive program uses hypotheticals to explore one of our profession's core duties -- maintaining client confidences. Among other things, the program will address: the strength of the duty; the source, timing and content of information lawyers must keep confidential (for instance, does the duty cover information in the public record, or the disclosure of which would not harm the client?); comparison with the attorney-client privilege; when the confidentiality duty begins (in the context of unsolicited emails and interviews with prospective clients); when the duty ends; what steps lawyers must take to protect client confidences, especially in the context of electronic communications.
