Unhealthy conflict includes a cluster of behaviors that destroys trust, impairs effective communication, reduces the ability to see another’s perspective and other ingredients that are essential for a lawyer to meet their professional obligations. This CLE will provide research-backed information that will help lawyers better maintain a professional, courteous, and civil attitude toward all persons involved in the legal system; more effectively communicate with others, including their clients; and effectively supervise others, including junior lawyers and paralegals. In particular, this CLE will show how incivility starts and can grow, and what each lawyer can do to avoid escalating conflict and create better working relationships with others, both internally and externally.

Topics include:

  • The nine stages of conflict
  • Sources of positive and of negative emotional energy at work
  • The three reactions to frustration
  • Reciprocity and the Cycles of Contempt and Courage

Credits: 1.0 ethics (pending: event code  247480)
