My Cousin Vinny may be one of the best movies about lawyers ever made. That’s not an exaggeration...if you’re thinking about attorney ethics! The number of professional responsibility lessons one can learn from this cinematic masterpiece is incredible!

How can you go wrong with a CLE with a foundation of My Cousin Vinny? This was informative and engaging with a twist of entertainment. The presenter is very thorough and explains content well. He could discuss/teach any topic and you will always walk away with gained knowledge without any traces of boredom.

Good presentation. Liked the movie quotes.

I enjoyed this clever and entertaining way of presenting serious topics on professional ethics. I learned a lot. This program kept my attention.

This speaker was knowledgeable and was able to work in the right tone and delivery to keep me interested.

fun course!

Very entertaining and informative! One of the better CLEs have done in years. Enjoyed the presenter and his humor.

Kept my interest and may listen to it again.

Very entertaining and insightful!

A very entertaining way to cover key aspects of Legal Ethics and Professionalism. This instructor does an excellent job with engaging his audience.

I love the movie "My Cousin Vinny" and I enjoyed Stuart's ability to link ethics lessons and specific rules with examples from the movie. It made ethics informative and entertaining.

Excellent presentation. The speaker was engaging and funny and not dry and boring like so many other CLE presenters! Subject matter was appropriate and applicable. Great job!

Actual clips from the movie would be helpful, though not strictly necessary, for the presentation. EXCELLENT content!

I REALLY ENJOYED IT.

Instructor made this dry material very interesting - I genuinely enjoyed the presentation.

Loved the relatability and content!

Fun and educational CLE

This is the best CLE I’ve ever seen, it really held my attention and it wasn’t dry at all. I wish they were all like this, it would be great if this was a series and future CLE dissected other lawyer shows/movies. I will be looking for more CLE presented by him. One tiny suggestion would be to play shorts clips of the scenes being referenced.

great program

Guy is entertaining
