Recorded on February 27, 2020. Having trouble identifying employee witnesses in your elder abuse cases? A common defense tactic is asserting representation of current and former employees to hinder access to potential witnesses. Learn how the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and established case law can help you spot ethical violations, identify the defendant’s current and former employees, and gain access to these potential witnesses.
