Peter Afrasiabi walks through how hewing to civility can actually improve our success as advocates and avoid case damage.

The State Bar civility guidelines are aspirational, but in this program, Peter Afrasiabi walks through how sticking to civility can actually improve our success as advocates. Watch lawyers and clients fighting, literally coming close to blows, yelling, threatening, and all manner of behavior, with appearances by Bieber to Lil Wayne, no less.
This program gets you the specialized credit you need without preaching virtues to you, and instead demonstrates how principles of positive advocacy—objectivity, credibility, respect—actually sit beneath the civility guideposts, letting you be a better advocate.
