Upcoming Ethics CLE
On May 5, 2026 we are offering a CLE from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. on ethics. Our speakers at the present time are Snohomish County District Court Judge Anthony Howard, Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Richard Okrent, Jeanne Marie Clavere from WSBA ethics division, and attorney Aimee Lou Trua.
The CLE will address “Common Ethical Issues During Litigation” by Janne Matie Clavere, with a panel and discussion questions from 10:00 a.m. Until 11:00 a.m., followed by information and discussion on how to remain within ethical boundaries during presentations to the Court, and then our judges will discuss how failure to follow ethical guidelines regarding honesty to the tribunal and general treatment of the court has changed and effected the safety of members of the bench.
We intend to have other members of the bench be part of our speaker line-up, and will advise when the date gets closer.
We encourage attendance at this CLE not just for the ethics credits, which we are applying for, but for the information to assist in your practice to avoid ethical mis-steps and to assist in creating a more appropriate and respectful atmosphere in court to encourage respect which in turn will assist in the safety for our members of the bench.
When: May 5, 2026, from 10 AM – 1 PM
Where: The Health Dept. Bldg. at 3020 Rucker Ave., Suite 306 (NOTE: Please find street parking as non-county vehicles parked behind the building will be towed at the owners’ expense).
