*Nebraska MCLE #150751. 1.0 hr CLE Ethics (OnDemand credit)
The Model Rules of Professional Conduct encourage public service, but also impose important responsibilities and limitations of which the lawyer-director must be mindful. This session will review the rules which impact a lawyer's service as a director of a nonprofit organization, including the difference between serving as director only vs. serving in dual roles as both director and lawyer. Substantial time will be devoted to conflict of interest and confidentiality issues, as well as practical suggestions in your relationships with the organization's management and fellow Board members.
