The John M. Langston Bar Association's first-ever Members Retreat offers a unique opportunity for connection, reflection, and substantive programming tailored to legal professionals. Among the highlights is a CLE program examining the evolving role of civility in litigation and alternative dispute resolution.
The panelists will explore how civility - or the lack thereof - can influence case outcomes, client relationships, and professional standing. They will address the legal definition of civility, applicable California State Bar rules, and key case law. Attendees will gain insight into the reputational and disciplinary consequences of incivility and consider how a principled approach can support both strategic advocacy and ethical practice. Designed for attorneys, in-house counsel, and legal professionals, this session offers practical guidance on navigating today’s legal landscape with professionalism and purpose.
