Mistakes Lawyers Make

The Senior Lawyers Division presents a "Mistakes Lawyers Make" periodically to various audiences throughout New Mexico. At the 2016 Annual Meeting-Bench & Bar Conference, Donald L. Jones, William D. Slease, and Briggs F. Cheney discussed the types of mistakes lawyers make in their practices that can easily be avoided or remedied. The panel offers practical advice on how an attorney can be conscious of the impact of their actions, traps to avoid and ethical and professional considerations within the practice of law.
