ON DEMAND: Lawyers as Whistleblowers: Ethical, Legal, and Practical Considerations
Whistleblowers already face a dizzying array of rules, procedures, and systems that they are required to navigate in order to accomplish their goal of reporting waste, fraud, abuse, or illegal conduct. Whistleblower lawyers can help their clients navigate these waters, but what happens when the whistleblowers are lawyers themselves? How do whistleblower rights and the duty to report misconduct interact with a lawyer's professional obligations? Are there some avenues they are prohibited from taking, or do they have even more options at their disposal?
The D.C. Bar Labor and Employment Law Community has asked subject matter experts in legal ethics and codes of conduct to weigh in on these questions, to educate not only those lawyers who might find themselves needing to counsel such a client, but also any lawyers who might one day find themselves needing to play the role of whistleblower themselves. This panel will endeavor to address the considerations as they apply to both private and government lawyers. Renew or join Communities to receive the best discount on registration.

Microsoft has been focusing on their new browser, EDGE, and has ended most support and all development for Internet Explorer (IE). This means Microsoft will not update IE’s security or functionality as technology advances. While we will continue to support IE to our best effort we highly recommend a browser like Google Chrome or Microsoft EDGE for a more secure and optimized experience. EDGE is pre-installed on Windows 10 machines, and other browsers can be downloaded and installed.
