Tuesday, March 24, 1:00pm-5:00pm
New York Law School, 185 West Broadway
Please join ICNY and New York Law School (NYLS) on Tuesday, March 24, to explore the intersection of personal, professional, and religious ethics in legal practice. How, we will ask, should an attorney’s personal sense of morality — including their religious or secular values — influence their decision-making in the practice of law?
This half-day continuing legal education conference will feature a keynote dialogue between Hon. Asim Rehman (former OATH Commissioner and Chief Administrative Law Judge, Adjunct Professor at NYLS, and cofounder of the Muslim Bar Association of New York), Prof. Russell Pearce (Professor Emeritus at the Fordham University School of Law), and Yazmine Nichols (Associate Director of NYLS’s Wilf Impact Center for Public Interest). Their dialogue will explore the role of an attorney’s personal or religious values in their legal work and professional identity formation. Following the keynote, a panel of attorneys in a range of practice areas will discuss the relationship between professional ethics, personal values, and the fundamental principle of the rule of law. Finally, an interactive workshop co-facilitated by Dr. Henry Goldschmidt (ICNY Director of Programs) will help participants explore best practices for lawyering for a religiously diverse society.
The conference will be held at New York Law School’s Abbey Hall, 185 West Broadway, in Tribeca, New York. All are welcome – not just lawyers! New York State attorneys will receive Four Continuing Legal Education Credits. Click the registration button or scan the code in the graphic for free registration.
