"One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer" and "Manic Depression" Are Not Just Song Titles: Recognizing and Managing Substance Abuse and Mental Health Problems in the Legal Profession (How does the crisis in professionalism affect lawyers on a personal and individual level? What is its role in causing mental health problems, depression and substance abuse?: Causes of depression and other mental health problems; Causes and nature of substance abuse as problem for lawyers; Strategies for preventing these problems through rebalancing your life and finding new meaning in your work)

Compensation Issues in LLCs
|
|
Abstract: There are many equity-based compensatory alternatives available to LLCs, each with their own tax consequences for the LLC and the recipient of the interest. In addition to unrestricted or restricted capital interests and profits interests, the LLC can issue options to acquire an interest or "virtual options" in the form of appreciation rights. There is no right choice among these alternatives. Instead, in choosing from the alternatives the LLC is essentially balancing the tax effect on existing versus prospective members, the LLC itself versus it members, and the certainty of tax outcomes versus potential tax benefits. This program will provide you with a practical guide to equity based compensatory interests in LLCs and their financial and tax consequences. Topics include: Framework of compensatory LLC interests; Revaluation of LLC assets & capital shifts on issuing compensatory interests; Employee v. member status for service providers; Issuance of unrestricted & restricted capital interests and profits interests and Options and virtual options to acquire LLC interests.

Lincoln on Professionalism
|
|
Abstract: About the Program
"Resolve to be honest at all events and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer."
"Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found who does this...A moral tone ought to be infused into the profession which drive such men out of it."
"The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for tomorrow which can be done today."
-A. Lincoln
Lincoln's exemplary qualities of legal and personal professionalism come to life in engaging documentary-style video vignettes. The scenes are coupled with a discussion among a stellar panel of judges and lawyers to provide a current and modern context to the model of professionalism that Lincoln provides.
