Leonard H. Bucklin is the owner of Bucklin of Counsel, a legal and ethics consulting service. He holds B.S. in Law and J.D. degrees from the University of Minnesota, where he was on the Minnesota Law Review and the Order of the Coif.

Leonard Bucklin is a Fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers. (The Academy attempts to identify the top 500 trial lawyers in the United States, plus selected trial attorneys in other countries) He is a member of the Million Dollar Advocate's Forum which is limited to plaintiff's attorneys who have won million dollar verdicts and settlements. However, on the other side of the table, Bucklin served as general counsel of an insurance company for 20 years. Bucklin and his firm of Bucklin, Klemin and McBride, P.C., have also been placed in Best's Directory of Recommended Insurance Attorneys as a result of defense work for over 35 insurers. Bucklin’s legal practice for 40 years has been balanced between commercial and personal work, office practice and litigation, and plaintiff and defense work.

Bucklin is one of the few expert witnesses with law practice experience in the plains states all the way south from North Dakota down to Texas. He has been admitted to the trial bars of North Dakota, Minnesota, Colorado, Texas, the Ft. Yates Sioux Indian Tribe, and the federal Court of Claims, as well as appellate court bars.

Bucklin’s ethics consulting for lawyers, and legal compliance by corporations, has been a part of his legal practice for several years, and at the present time is the chosen focus of his work. Pertinent to today’s seminar topic: he believes that all public corporations should have a combined Legal Compliance and Ethics Officer.

Bucklin has served on various workgroups and committees of legal organizations and business corporations. The longest service was 12 years as chairman of the Civil Rules Committee of the North Dakota State Bar, followed by 12 years on the Joint Procedure advisory committee to the North Dakota Supreme Court. The most unusual has been his work on the Board of Directors and the Ethics Committee of the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) (a Richmond, VA corporation). UNOS is the corporation that runs, as a federal contractor, the 50 state network for allocation and distribution of human organs for transplantation to the medical centers across the country. The ethical problems are sensitive and newsworthy.
