When the Attorney Becomes the Defendant: The Psychology of How Ethical Lines Are Crossed

This program addresses a gap most ethics CLEs miss: the psychology of what happens in the months and years before a rule is broken. Drawing on the presenter's own federal conviction and a broader study of attorney misconduct patterns, it introduces a Four-Element Framework (Emotion, Identity, Logic, and Ethical Self-Regulation) and maps The Erosion SequenceTM — a five-stage framework covering the First Accommodation, the Normalization Window, Identity Drift, the Locked Position, and the Collapse Event — giving attorneys stage-specific decision-architecture tools to recognize where they are in that sequence before the window to intervene closes. The program includes applied hypotheticals, real-world case studies, an introduction to The Erosion Profile TM archetypes, and a self-assessment instrument attendees can use in their own practice.

Topics covered include:

Andreea Parc, LL.M. spent eight years practicing law in New York — immigration, family law, estate planning, and business law — before a federal conviction on asylum fraud and false statements ended that career and led to five years in federal prison. Rather than treat the conviction as the story's end, she spent the years that followed studying what preceded it: not the misconduct itself, but the mechanism that let her keep believing she was still the attorney she'd set out to be while the evidence said otherwise.

Justia only reports attendance in jurisdictions in which a particular Justia CLE Webinar is officially accredited. Lawyers may need to self-submit their certificates for CLE credit in jurisdictions not listed above.

Note that CLE credit, including partial credit, cannot be earned outside of the relevant accreditation period. To earn credit for a course, a lawyer must watch the entire course within the relevant accreditation period. Lawyers who have viewed a presentation multiple times may not be able to claim credit in their jurisdiction more than once. Justia reserves the right, at its discretion, to grant an attendee partial or no credit, in accordance with viewing duration and other methods of verifying course completion.

At this time, Justia only offers CLE courses officially accredited in certain states. Lawyers may generate a generic attendance certificate to self-submit credit in their own jurisdiction, but Justia does not guarantee that lawyers will receive their desired CLE credit through the self-submission or reciprocity process.
