Description

Explore the fascinating intersection of reality TV drama and legal ethics in this engaging CLE program with the CLE Performer, Stuart Teicher. Using the wildly popular show 90 Day Fiancé as a springboard, we’ll delve into real-life cases of lawyers entangled in marriage fraud, including those who violated ethical standards by facilitating sham marriages for immigration purposes. This session provides a unique lens on attorney conduct, cultural competence, and the Rules of Professional Conduct. Join us for an hour of real life lawyer violations, compelling hypotheticals, and ethical lessons drawn from the unexpected union of pop culture and legal practice.

Learning objectives:

  • When lawyers commit fraud it could constitute a crime per Rule 8.4(b).
  • Understanding the ethical challenges of representing clients in related cases, including joint representation and conflicts of interest under Rule 1.7.
  • Analyzing examples of lawyers implicated in marriage fraud, including the ethical implications of violating Rule 3.3 (Candor Toward the Tribunal) and Rule 4.1 (Truthfulness in Statements to Others).
  • Apply Ethical Guidelines to Witness Preparation and Rule 4.4.
