8 Reasons Movie-Lawyers Would be Disciplined
Attorneys in film are constantly violating the ethics rules. Of course, sometimes those gaffes happen in real life too, and lawyers need to make sure that we don’t repeat those mistakes. Join the CLE Performer, Stuart Teicher, Esq., as he explains the sometimes obvious and sometimes subtle ethics violations committed by lawyers in movies and on TV.

•    How fictional lawyers are constantly disrupting a tribunal (Rule 3.4(d))
•    Shouldn’t the other lawyers who see this stuff happen report their colleagues? Rule 8.3(a)
  
Tik Tok, Twitter, Tech, and Ethics
Tik Tok might be the biggest tech-related issue in attorney ethics these days, but it’s certainly not the only one. Stuart explains the latest and not-so-greatest issues in legal ethics and technology.

What the Song of the Century Teaches about Inclusion in the Law
A white man and a black woman joined forces to create the most powerful protest song in the history of modern music. “Strange Fruit” was deemed the song of the 20th Century and the story of its creation teaches lawyers valuable lessons about inclusion in the law. Stuart explains how collaboration and friendship form the bedrock needed to create a foundation of inclusion in the practice of law.
