College Mascots and Legal Ethics: Lessons from the Sidelines

TBA Sunrise Series
Description:

In honor of college bowl season that's quickly approaching, TBA brings you an early-morning breakdown of the ways in which college mascots represent their schools with pride, loyalty, and unwavering standards - qualities every attorney should embody. Professional legal educator Stuart Teicher, Esq. (The CLE Performer) reveals how these iconic figures demonstrate core principles of legal ethics. From the tiger's protective instincts to the eagle's soaring integrity, mascots show us what it means to represent something bigger than yourself while maintaining consistent character both in the spotlight and behind the scenes.

Learning Objectives:

-Explore why fierce animals dominate college mascots and how their protective instincts mirror attorney duties to safeguard clients under RPC 1.6

-Learn about the origin stories of some mascots and the origin stories of “new” rules like Rule 1.18

-Learn how the need to train some dangerous, live mascots mirrors a lawyer’s duty to supervise: Rules 5.1 and 5.3

Stuart always does an exceptional job not just pointing out and explaining the ethical considerations, but doing so in a manner that makes them memorable. And awareness and memory of the ethical requirements is one of the most critical drivers of compliance with those requirements.

Great and entertaining CLE!

Pointing out the differences in certain rules was super helpful.
