About This Course

Most lawyers have read thousands of legal opinions, but how many of those opinions were written in verse, refer to famous films or TV series or went so far as to insult other judges on the same court? 

In Part II of this popular program, Andrew Struve uses these wild legal opinions as a basis for reviewing the canons of legal ethics that apply to judges and to discuss whether these “unique” opinions are consistent with the high ethical standards to which members of the judiciary are held.
