Learn why reporting is essential to protect children and vulnerable adults; how to report; potential consequences for both the client and the attorney when abuse is not reported; the standard for determining whether you "know" there is child abuse; how to advise your client; what an investigation looks like after the abuse is reported; and the role of the Office of Professional Conduct in enforcing confidentiality when there is a law that requires mandatory reporting.
