Description
Celebrating its 50th anniversary, this year's Legal Issues in Museum Administration conference will both reflect on how museum lawyering has evolved and look to its future. Featured sessions include instruction on this year’s most important legal issues, including:
• Cultural Institutions and Labor Dynamics
• Ethics and the Lawyer’s Many Hats
- This panel will cover the application of different ethical rules to the many roles a lawyer plays both inside an organization and out. Topics will include the Lawyer-as-Counselor, Lawyer-as-Advocate, Lawyer-as-Negotiator, and the Lawyer-as-Nonlawyer. We will discuss the lawyer’s ethical obligations to their client, both in an advocacy and a non-advocacy role, and to nonclients, as well as the scope of the attorney-client privilege in each situation.
