Explore ethical violations in popular TV shows and movies and learn how not to practice law with humor and insight.
We all know that CLE programs are boring and a chore to watch. But we’re breaking the rules – a CLE program that’s intentionally funny and (gasp) entertaining, yet somehow still informative.
Actor, writer, producer, and recovering lawyer, Mark Wooster, presents a humorous take on what lawyers should not do in the service of their clients. Using clips from a highly popular television show and recent feature film, Mark will illustrate the ethics rules that apply to lawyers who can’t seem to behave themselves like ethical human beings, much less like ethical lawyers. Reserve your seat today and we’ll waive the two-drink minimum.
Rules covered include: Pennsylvania Code of Professional Conduct 3.3, 3.4, 4.1, 5.3 & 8.4; ABA Model Rules 1.18, 3.3, 3.4, 3.8, 4.1, 5.3, 5.4 & 8.4.
