Why you should attend
What you will learn
Join us once again at this unique interactive program. Chair Jeremy R. Feinberg and our expert faculty will review a new set of hypotheticals culled from some of the most outlandish cases recently reported. What did those attorneys do? What would you do? What do the experts say you should do? Test your knowledge of the pertinent ethical rules as you match wits with our expert faculty, and contestants. Referred to as the “ethics game show,” this program had past attendees raving: “This was one of the best programs I’ve attended!”; This is by far the best, most engaging, and frankly, most entertaining CLE program I've ever heard”; “Entertaining as well as instructive”; “Love the "quiz" format”; “Without a doubt the most painless and informative 2 hours of ethics training ever”; and “Best Ethics CLE EVER!”
Join us as we review some of the strangest cases recently reported.
Hear about:
- What happens when lawyers use trickery to obtain an advantage in investigating cases
- How the courts have treated the lack of civility by lawyers and their clients
- What impact technological snafus can have on the client-lawyer relationship and privilege determinations
- How even well-intentioned judges have a bad day and the attendant consequences
