In this one-hour ethics CLE program, Dean Raymond will examine the lawyering lessons found in opinions of former Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson and the applicable rules of professional conduct. In disciplinary and other cases, Justice Abrahamson discussed principles and examples of ethical practice relevant to today’s Wisconsin lawyer. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of ethical standards, principles of professional responsibility, and exemplary legal practice.
Margaret Raymond is a member of the law faculty at UW-Madison and teaches Professional Responsibilities and Insurance Law courses. Professor Raymond's current scholarship focuses on the professional responsibility of lawyers.

She is a member of the Board of Directors of the Wisconsin Lawyers Mutual Insurance Company (WILMIC) and a member of the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility. Proceeds from this event benefit the AWL Foundation’s Shirley S. Abrahamson scholarship fund.
