Description
In this collection of essays, Ray Brescia of Albany Law School and Eric Stern, a professor at SUNY Albany's College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security, and Cybersecurity, explore strategies for effective lawyering during a wide range of crises-from those involving a deprivation of civil rights, to natural disasters, to global health emergencies. The book offers practical guidance to lawyers operating during these times and also sheds light on how lawyers can help to resolve crises. The authors attempt to answer questions about lawyering during a crisis, including what ethics rules apply, how to maintain good client communications, what novel conflicts of interest may arise, and whether lawyers can plan ahead and train for these scenarios. * Trial magazine *
