Description

Bullying is rampant in the legal profession. Nearly every lawyer has been bullied at some point in their career. And some will even admit that they have been guilty of being the bully.

Bullying occurs even though codes, rules, and standards governing the profession prohibit bullying (although without using that word). Why is that?

Listen as our esteemed panel explores the extent of bullying in the legal profession, the causes of bullying, and why lawyers continue to bully even though professional standards prohibit such conduct. The panel will also offer practical ways to combat bullying.

Presented By

Michael H. Bassett
Senior Partner

Mr. Bassett's areas of practice are mediation, personal injury, premises liability, products liability, transportation litigation and professional liability.
