Session 2 will cover solicitors in a professional and private capacity, as well as social media.

Session 3 will cover solicitors’ duties to court, duties to clients (including vulnerable), and how to deal with a situation when a solicitor may be under pressure from colleagues or clients to do something that makes them feel uncomfortable.
