As the cornerstone of a civil society, it is essential that America’s justice system not only serve and be accountable to its citizens, but demonstrate a high level of civility as well.

Unfortunately, there has been an erosion of civility in the practice of law and across society. Each attorney and court should promote a civil legal process. Some courts, legal organizations, bar associations, and justice system entities have drafted codes of conduct to encourage civility. Additionally, the business of courts has changed, including who comes before the court, with a substantial increase in self-represented litigants which in and of itself requires a reexamination of civility. Further, the impact of technology on the justice system only add to the need to revisit court culture and civility, and what is expected of those who come to court.

This course is presented in partnership with the State Bar of Nevada. For registration questions, please contact State Bar of Nevada - Eric Johnson, CLE Director (702) 317-1415 | ericj@nvbar.org
