Join a panel of respected legal professionals for a thoughtful discussion on how courtesy, respect, and intentional communication can strengthen relationships with clients, opposing counsel, colleagues, court staff, and the bench. Rather than focusing on the behaviors attorneys should avoid, this conversation will highlight the positive impact that small acts of professionalism can have on advocacy, negotiations, courtroom interactions, and office culture.

Drawing on their diverse perspectives and real-world experiences, the panelists will share practical insights into how politeness can enhance credibility, reduce conflict, improve client service, and contribute to a more professional and effective legal community. Whether you are a new lawyer or a seasoned practitioner, you'll leave with practical strategies for incorporating thoughtful communication and everyday professionalism into your practice. This engaging CLE takes a fresh approach by exploring the role of politeness—what it looks like, why it matters, and how it influences the everyday practice of law.
