Panelists will apply the rules of professional responsibility to scenarios of urgency and will also discuss the fulfillment of an attorney’s personal ethical responsibilities relating to GHG emissions, the attorney’s duty to pursue the client's legitimate interests within the bounds of the law, and particular challenges of representing corporations.
