OBA Public Sector Lawyers PROGRAM | Original Program Date: November 18, 2020

Public sector lawyers often deal with self-represented parties on the other side of interest. Whether it be an individual or company seeking to obtain a licence or permit, or a defendant in a regulatory proceeding, parties without a legal representative present different challenges for lawyers acting in the best interest of the public. Join our panel of experts as they discuss some of the ethical and procedural challenges faced when dealing with self-represented parties, the different rules before a court or tribunal, and what you can do to protect yourself from a potential allegation of improper conduct or sharp practice.
