Attorney Mike Carr - Featured Speaker at the MS Bar's "Bridge the Gap" CLE

Attorney Mike Carr was proud to be a featured speaker as part of the Mississippi Bar’s “Bridge the Gap” continuing legal education series on December 5, 2025.

Titled “The Columbus Rule: Duty to Colleagues in the Practice of Law”, this lecture focused on the rules of professional conduct surrounding (1) lawyer associate/lawyer partner duties to one another, (2) law firm staff confidentiality requirements and (3) candor to colleagues and fellow members of the bar both inside and outside of the courtroom.

We walked through about eight different scenarios with the group of approximately 50 lawyers as to how they would handle certain situations.

Overall theme: what goes around, comes around.

Thank you again to Chad Phillips of the MS Bar for putting all of this together.
