Yet while there are constitutional restraints on the regulation of advertising and solicitation, there are still limits to what a lawyer may do. This lecture will discuss those limits and the recent West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals decision in Lawyer Disciplinary Board v. Phillips B. Allen, John P. Coale, and Greta Van Sustren. A computerized calendaring system capable of tracking scheduled events such as deposition dates and trials will be demonstrated. The software also will track deadlines such as discovery cut-off dates and deadlines for filing answers, appeals, and much more.
Lawyers also have duties to their other clients and former clients.
