A civil advocate in Indoremust charge a fee consistent with his standing at the bar and the nature of the case. The Constitution of India makes provision for the high courts to settle the table of fees payable to advocates practicing before them. An advocate must not stipulate a fee contingent on the results of litigation or agree to share the proceeds of litigation. This is because giving the lawyer an interest in the subject matter of the suit is against professional ethics and violative of public policy.

Insider Lease Agreements (Series: Ethical Issues in Real Estate-Based Bankrup...Financial Poise
It is a common play in real estate to create a separate operating entity to serve as a tenant and execute a lease between the owner of the property and himself. Typically, this happens in assets which serve as a real estate-based business, such as a retail property. The structure enables the operator to reduce the taxable income of the business and also provide a liability shield for the property owner. This arrangement can lead to some ethical issues should the property owner become distressed. For example, is the lease amount above market and therefore being used to inflate the property valuation? Is rent actually being paid? Is there a proper lease in place or just an internal handshake? Attorneys need to understand the set-up in order to know what is in bounds and what is outside the lines. This webinar looks at this leasing structure and examines the issues that may arise.

An updated version of my seminar on social media for lawyers. The focus is on legal marketing and networking through social media. Here you will find slides on best practices as well as slides discussing ethical considerations for sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ and Twitter.
Keeping client confidences secure in the digital age is not always easy, but it certainly is necessary.

This program covers how to ethically use today’s technology and what emerging tools are important for lawyers to consider.
Based on the Standards for Journalism Educators from the Journalism Education Association, this slide show addresses key concepts, court cases and issues related to Standard 1A.4: A solid foundation in law and ethics as it applies to scholastic media, including First Amendment-related rights and responsibilities; and 1B.5: Law and ethics as it relates to scholastic media and its importance in practice. The information here is designed to serve as a study list for those preparing to take the CJE exam or as a possible outline for teachers planning a basic law and ethics unit for a high school journalism classroom.

Valuing Real Estate Assets (Series: Ethical Issues in Real Estate-Based Bankr...Financial Poise
As the expression goes, the value of real estate is in the eye of the beholder. Ultimately, the value is whatever the market is willing to pay. While income producing properties, particularly with credit worthy tenants, may be fairly routine to value based on current rate of return demands in the market, non-income producing properties may be more speculative. For example, even the most seasoned appraiser may struggle with finding comparative sales for a property. A landowner might see their property value go up exponentially “if only” the city council will allow for a zoning variance. Many an owner believes their property is in the “path of progress”, but when? Is it reasonable to value a property “as stabilized” if it is only forty percent leased? These are the types of questions we will consider.

Single Asset Real Estate Cases (Series: Ethical Issues in Real Estate-Based B...Financial Poise
Anyone involved in the field of creditors rights on a matter involving an LLC that exists solely to hold the principal asset has surely seen the play where, the night before property is scheduled to be sold at a foreclosure auction, the debtor files bankruptcy. For those not familiar with the process, doing so invokes the “Automatic Stay”, which prohibits the secured lender from foreclosing on the property. The debtor then attempts to make their case to the court for reorganization. But is failing to pay your mortgage really something bankruptcy was meant to solve? If the bank was going to agree to a loan modification, wouldn’t the parities have worked something out by the time the sheriff sale was set? The bankruptcy code recognizes this and therefore has a section devoted to dealing with this specific kind of bankruptcy—the Single Asset Real Estate (“SARE”) case. The goal of this episode is to look into ethical issues surrounding these matters.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
