There are reasons every Florida lawyer should understand the Bar's procedures for investigating and prosecuting disciplinary complaints, says guest presenter
Michelle Suskauer
, a criminal defense attorney in West Palm Beach.
With the help of moderator
Richard Lord
, an Upchurch Watson White & Max shareholder and mediator, she will explain how this system works for a July 12 Webinar, from the initial complaint through the investigation, review, trial and, ultimately, a final discipline order by the Florida Supreme Court.
"The Florida Bar is unique in how it disciplines its members," the Florida Bar News said earlier this year in introducing a series of articles. "The process can be scary, but it's important that we understand it - first, to avoid pitfalls in our own practices, but also to appreciate the ways we are protecting the public and the lawyers who practice in Florida."
The content of this Webinar is designed for all Florida attorneys, paralegals and legal assistants.
