This session also emphasises empowerment (of the lawyer, client and potentially of the community) as one of the outcomes of client centered lawyering approach.

Session Objective:

It will address these issues in the context of a lawyer’s ethical obligations and the higher standards expected of members of the legal profession.

Facilitated large group discussion with aims to draw on local examples and practices as a means to identify current and potential ways to ensure ethical client centred lawyering.

Session Outcomes:

• This is an interactive, values strengthening and practical skill building session which will focus on the key elements of the duty of confidentiality and the issues arising when the duty conflicts with other duties owed by the lawyer.

Session Outcomes:

·         This session is in two parts, the first party involves an interactive session aimed to bring together the various elements discussed over the 2 days under the umbrella of ‘the duty to the administration of justice’. E.g. If the client asks us to do something illegal do we report it? If the client wants you to appeal and there are no grounds and you have advised them of this. What do you do? The duty to the administration of justice cuts across all the other duties and is pervasive so this might be a good capstone session. What happens when there is a conflict with what lawyers are instructed to do and administration of justice?
