(Almost) Everything You Wanted to Know About Practice during COVID but Were Afraid to Ask (GNBA)

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many challenges for lawyers, especially solo practitioners. Keeping practices going while courts are closed or only partially available has created new burdens on lawyers. What are your obligations if you are sick or a client is sick? How do you protect your clients and yourself? With no clear answer regarding when there will be a “return to normal,” lawyers need to be aware of their responsibilities and how to practice ethically.
