Kathleen Warin (Partner-Washington, DC) will join the panel “Lawyers’ Obligations with Respect to Confidentiality” at the Secrecy and Transparency in Civil Litigation Symposium, held on May 1-2, 2026, at Stanford Law School in Palo Alto, California. The event, hosted by the Deborah L. Rhode Center on the Legal Profession at Stanford Law School and the National Civil Justice Institute, marks Kathleen's second time as an invited panelist at Stanford. Kathleen’s panel examines where lawyers’ duties to their clients intersect, and possibly conflict with, obligations to the public and the courts, particularly in the context of protective orders, settlements, and other forms of confidentiality in civil litigation. The symposium explores the legal and policy dimensions of confidentiality and transparency, highlighting how courts, litigants, and policymakers are navigating this balance and the tradeoffs involved.
