GAIN THE EDGE: NEGOTIATIONS
with Marty Latz

June 20, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
Oregon Convention Center
1.5 ethics and 5.5 CLE credits

Lawyers negotiate every day. However, most negotiate instinctively rather than honing a strategy — when that one new strategy could make the difference between winning and walking away empty-handed. Learn how to become an effective negotiator and better lawyer when you attend this seminar, including: setting aggressive yet realistic goals; controlling the negotiation agenda; analyzing interests vs. positions; and competitive vs. problem-solving techniques.

CLE Publications

Oregon Formal Ethics Opinions 2003 Supplement

It’s time to update the book you use every day: Oregon Formal Ethics Opinions. The 2003 supplement will be available in mid-May. This book contains the DRs approved by the Oregon Supreme Court and the ethics opinions approved by the OSB Board of Governors. The 2003 supplement includes:

Two new opinions:

  • May a lawyer accept a retainer from the personal representative of an estate as a condition of accepting the representation? What about partial payments before the proceeding is complete?
  • What are the ethics issues connected with accepting credit card payments from clients? Should the credit card payments be deposited into a separate merchant account? How should the lawyer handle a 'chargeback'?

New DR 2-105:

  • May a lawyer accept a commission when referring a client to a nonlawyer? May the lawyer accept a gift?

As always, the opinions and DRs are easily accessible through the updated index, table of authorities and opinion citator. This book is not available on CD-ROM. All formal ethics opinions are accessible online at www.osbar.org (not suitable for inclusion in your binder.)

To order, call the OSB Order Desk, (503) 684-7413; toll-free in Oregon (800) 452-8260, ext. 413. Order online, or check our website to find information on any of our books at www.osbar.org.
