Ethical-Legal “Jeopardy!”

 (Who Said Ethics Was Boring?)

The first half of this workshop is an overview of
some simple, basic topics in professional ethics and Virginia law.
The second half of the workshop will be conducted a bit like a “Jeopardy” game.
Using the categories below, we will test our understanding of
what we have learned about the ethical/legal ABCs.
An unusual variation on the boring “post-test”!!
