8 Movie-Lawyers Who Would Be Disciplined in Real Life
Movies often depict lawyers behaving badly, acting unprofessionally, or blatantly violating rules of professional conduct – all for the sake of entertainment. But in real life, attorneys need to avoid these gaffes at all costs, learn from their mistake when they do occur, and understand the consequences that may arise in the aftermath. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from Stuart Teicher as he examines both the obvious and subtle ethics violations being committed by lawyers in the movies and on television. Topics include: ex parte conversations with a judge (Rule 3.5); how fictional lawyers are constantly disrupting a tribunal (Rule 3.4(d)); and your responsibility to report a colleague’s misconduct (Rule 8.3 (a)).
