During the pandemic, we learned how to adapt and practice law differently, but we also lost something in the way we treat each other as professionals. As we emerge from the pandemic, we need to remember the important role that professionalism plays in the practice of law and how each of us can promote professionalism through our daily lives.
Featuring speakers and panelists with diverse backgrounds and perspectives, this year's NCBA Professionalism Committee CLE explores what professionalism means, how it works, and how to promote professionalism as we move into the post-pandemic world.
