The Levin Center at Wayne State University Law School will present “Mindful Lawyering: The Ethics of Knowing When to Say No” on Monday, April 4.
In January, “60 Minutes” reported on an undercover investigation in which 16 New York lawyers were asked about helping a client hide questionably obtained money. Only one said “no.”
The panel will look at the “60 Minutes” case and discuss the complex issues when lawyers are involved in matters that challenge their personal values and ethics.
The group also are scheduled to examine about the role of attorneys in tax avoidance and money laundering investigations.
The program will be from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. in Lecture Hall 2242 of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights at the law school, 471 W. Palmer St.
Members of the panel are:
• Former U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, chair of the Levin Center at Wayne Law, distinguished legislator in residence at Wayne Law and senior counsel to Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP in Detroit.
• Judge Nancy Edmunds of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and executive committee member of the Wayne Law Board of Visitors.
• Reginald Turner, member of Clark Hill PLC, past president of the State Bar of Michigan and member of the Levin Center External Advisory Board.
• The Levin Center’s Linda Gustitus will deliver introductory remarks.
Wayne Law Prof. Peter Henning, a former federal prosecutor who teaches courses including professional responsibility and the legal profession, as well as white collar crime, will moderate the discussion.
Lunch will be provided.
There’s no cost to attend but registration is required at law.wayne.edu/mindful2016.
