Have you ever wondered when a litigator’s actions could go beyond zealous advocacy for a client to constitute frivolous claims or knowingly false statements
of law or material fact? Or, what kinds of actions could violate an attorney’s oath to support the Constitution of the United States?
Please join us when a distinguished panel explores these and related important questions as applied to the pending ethics complaint against Texas Attorney
General Kenneth Paxton contending his Supreme Court lawsuit to overturn the presidential election and his urging January 6 marchers to overturn the Electoral
College results violated Texas’s ethics rules.

The complaint was filed by sixteen prominent Texas lawyers - including four former Presidents of the Texas State Bar - and the national organization, Lawyers
Defending American Democracy.

AN APPLICATION FOR ACCREDITATION OF THIS ACTIVITY HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE MCLE COMMITTEE OF THE STATE BAR OF TEXAS AND IS PENDING.
