Later that day, she also moderated the ethics panel which discussed various ethical issues arising from trial practice.  The panel addressed many of the applicable rules as well as best practices given those rules.  Specifically the panel looked at interactions with jurors and potential jurors, protecting client confidences, and other topics. Ethics mold every aspect of trial and is an essential part of practicing law.
