NYCLA's Judicial Section joins forces with NYCLA's Ethics Institute and Task Force on Professionalism to co-sponsor Special Ethical Considerations for Judges and Legal Practicioners Who are Actively Involved in Houses of Worship host a fascinating discussion which will explore the ethical considerations surrounding the conduct and choices made by judges and practitioners who are actively involved in their houses of worship. The expert panel will discuss a series of hypotheticals that illustrate the types of situations that may arise and the considerations involved in resolving the dilemmas. Some of the areas to be explored include: involvement in extra-judicial activities at the house of worship; effect on sentencing decisions; disqualification or recusal; effect on attorney’s career choices; and dealing with client demands.
