Abstract: About the Program
"Resolve to be honest at all events and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer."
"Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found who does this...A moral tone ought to be infused into the profession which drive such men out of it."
"The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for tomorrow which can be done today."
-A. Lincoln
Lincoln's exemplary qualities of legal and personal professionalism come to life in engaging documentary-style video vignettes. The scenes are coupled with a discussion among a stellar panel of judges and lawyers to provide a current and modern context to the model of professionalism that Lincoln provides.

Merge and Purge: Obtaining Driveway Permits and Managing Water and Sewer Resources (Zoning, Planning& Land Use Section Annual Meeting)
|
|
Abstract: A View from the Bench - How to Appear Before Boards of Adjustment (Includes lessons learned on ensuring you know the requirements of the operative ordinance, preparing staff in anticipation of the hearing, carefully orchestrating hearing testimony and avoiding ex parte communications, among others.) ... Legislative and Case Law Update (Recent legislation and judicial decisions affecting land use, including a discussion of several bills that were considered by the legislature in the 2009 session, the act tolling development approvals and the legislation related to appeals of quasi-judicial decisions.) ... Driveway Permits and the Entitlements Process (The entitlements process is shaped greatly by the Buckland v. Town of Haw River rule that off-site improvements cannot be mandated as part of a site plan approval. However, obtaining site plan approval from the local government does not guarantee the ability to proceed. Increasingly, the NCDOT exercises great influence in the development process, because they control the driveway permits which include a number of off-site improvements. Since the parameters provided by Buckland are not applicable to driveway permits, there is not a clear line on what can and cannot be required by NCDOT in the driveway permitting process. Discussion of the current state of the law that applies to NCDOT in making their decision to issue or not issue a driveway permit.)

"One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer" and "Manic Depression" Are Not Just Song Titles: Recognizing and Managing Substance Abuse and Mental Health Problems in the Legal Profession (How does the crisis in professionalism affect lawyers on a personal and individual level? What is its role in causing mental health problems, depression and substance abuse?: Causes of depression and other mental health problems; Causes and nature of substance abuse as problem for lawyers; Strategies for preventing these problems through rebalancing your life and finding new meaning in your work)

Lincoln on Professionalism
|
|
Abstract: About the Program
"Resolve to be honest at all events and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer."
"Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found who does this...A moral tone ought to be infused into the profession which drive such men out of it."
"The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for tomorrow which can be done today."
-A. Lincoln
Lincoln's exemplary qualities of legal and personal professionalism come to life in engaging documentary-style video vignettes. The scenes are coupled with a discussion among a stellar panel of judges and lawyers to provide a current and modern context to the model of professionalism that Lincoln provides.

The Resilient Lawyer

Abstract: *Immunity to Change (Learn to break down the resistance to change that keeps us not only from maximizing our ability to best serve our clients, but also to best mentor and supervise our fellow attorneys and manage our practices. Help close the gap between what we have always intended to do in advising our clients and managing our practices, and guide us toward maximizing what we are actually able to do.) ... Suicide: Assessment, Intervention and Aftermath (Guidance in identifying colleagues who suffer from debilitating mental conditions that impair the ability to carry out professional responsibilities and, at worst, lead to suicide attempts.) ... *Lawyers, Technology, and Ethics: Possibilities, Best Practices and Ethical Constraints (Hear an explanation of how technological innovations may impact your duties of competent and diligent representation as well as an introduction to new ways of effectively communicating with clients.
