The Association of American Law Schools will host a new six-part teach-in webinar series—open to students, staff, and faculty at law schools throughout the nation, as well as lawyers, law firms, and others—that will explore the ethical and other issues related to professional independence in the legal profession. Registration is here.

The weekly webinar series will begin on March 25 and conclude on April 29, and will occur on Wednesdays with the exception of the second week of the series, when the webinar will occur on Tuesday, March 31. The series will include discussion of the executive orders and federal investigations focused on law firms, proposed baseline principles for professional independence, judicial independence and the rule of law, separation of powers, and global and comparative issues, among other topics. Panelists include leading lawyers, academics, and other distinguished speakers offering a broad range of perspectives.

More details, including the sponsors for each individual webinar and the speakers can be found on the AALS Webpage for the series.
