Good Lawyers Gone Bad: Ethics Lessons from True Lawyer Slime and Crime

TBA Sunrise Series
Description:

True crime doesn't just happen in dark alleys and abandoned warehouses. It happens in conference rooms and courthouses, too. And when it's lawyers who perpetrate those crimes, they have another problem: Ethics issues. Nationally renowned educator, Stuart Teicher Esq., explores bad barrister behavior and the ethics lessons that lie beneath.  Stuart will talk about real missteps committed by actual lawyers, he will explore why lawyers make such bad decisions, and he'll distill the ethics lessons for everyone. Whether it’s true lawyer crime or true lawyer slime, this program helps lawyers avoid getting bit in their true-lawyer behind.

Learning objectives include:

- Client pressure and the need to remain independent - Rule 2.1, Advisor

- Pushing the ethical envelope too far - Rule 8.4, Misconduct

- The role of mental health issues in a lawyer's duty to withdraw - Rule 1.16, Withdrawal

- And more!
