• How High is Too High: Opioids for Attorneys
• How High is Too High: Opioids for Attorneys

  Was a former heroin addict impaired prior to a fatal car accident? Are first responders really overdosing due to small traces of casual contact with fentanyl? Was it an illegal street drug — or legal prescription — that led to an accidental drug death?

Lawyers — both civil & criminal — are seeing an increase in opioid related claims in their cases and many are ill-equipped to decipher and interpret the results of drug screens and explain toxicology methods to judges and jurors. In this in-depth CLE course Dr. Allison A. Muller will shed light on legal issues involved with opioids by: listing three effects of opioids on the body, stating 2 unexpected sources of opioids, showing one common drug that can intensify toxicity, explaining pitfalls in interpreting drug screens and stating common reasons for the presence of morphine in the blood. Additional topics include: opioid receptors, opioid antagonists, benzodiazepines, Naltrexone, Naloxone, Buprenorphine, the “Poppy Seed” defense and metabolites.
  
  Dr. Muller is a board-certified toxicologist, fellow of the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology, and registered pharmacist with over 20 years’ experience in the field of clinical toxicology.

• The Ethics of Referral Fees
• The Ethics of Referral Fees

  Referral fees are unethical. My state prohibits referral fees. Such fees must be based on ‘work performed’ and are only proper for contingency matters. Misconceptions abound.
  
  The reality is that numerous state bars have noted that fee sharing is not only ethical — but it actually leads to better outcomes for clients. Come get cozy with Curt Brown and the rules of professional conduct as he surveys the regulatory frameworks of the ABA and all 50 states so you know the ethical landscape when referring or accepting cases from fellow attorneys in your state and around the country. Curt will primarily discuss common misconceptions, ABA Rule 1.5 and the ethical approach states have taken to promote referrals amongst attorneys. Curt will also talk about best practices, 4 common myths, joint responsibility, disclosures, “reasonable fees,” ongoing responsibilities after referring a matter, pure referral states, crossing state lines, international issues and dealing with nonlawyer companies and law firms based abroad. What Curt will NOT cover in this CLE: Referrals to & from Non-lawyers, Runners & Cappers and Lawyer Referral Services.
