About the Program
This presentation will cover the disconnect between how lawyers are supposed to behave (the ethics rules) and how movies and television show us behaving (not typically ethically). We will discuss the various stages of how lawyers have been portrayed onscreen and will then review the ethics rules by showing clips and discussing "what went wrong" in terms of legal ethics.
