Ethical Issues in Whistleblower Litigation
Continuing Legal Education Program

What should you do if a client shows up with copies of his employer’s confidential documents?  What if the client’s employer is a hospital and the documents are private medical records of individual patients?  May you review the documents?  Use them to prepare a lawsuit?  What are your obligations to the owner of the confidential information? This program will address the unique ethical issues lawyers face in whistleblower litigation under the False Claims Act and other statutes that provide incentives for whistleblowers to report fraud and abuse.
