An insider’s guide to the Pennsylvania attorney disciplinary system, from grievance through final disposition. This program addresses the ethical duties implicated in discipline matters, including competence (Rule 1.1), confidentiality (Rule 1.6), communication (Rule 1.4), misconduct (Rule 8.4), and obligations during investigations. The course also focuses on risk mitigation and avoiding the most common causes of discipline.

Pennsylvania lawyers have an affirmative duty to maintain technological competence. This program explains that obligation under Rule 1.1 (Competence), as informed by Comment [8], and explores how failures in technology understanding can also implicate Rules 1.6 (Confidentiality) and 5.1–5.3 (Supervision). The emphasis is on practical knowledge lawyers must possess to meet ethical requirements.
