About This Course

We all know that CLE programs are boring and a chore to watch. But we’re breaking the rules—a CLE program that’s intentionally funny and (gasp) entertaining, yet somehow still informative.

Does your state bar require you to be civil when you practice law or at least sit through a CLE presentation on civility in order to keep your law license? Mark Wooster discusses California’s non-binding civility guidelines and how they interact with the legal ethics rules in the context of some real-life cases of outrageous behavior by lawyers.

Reserve your seat today and we’ll waive the two-drink minimum!

Rules covered include the California Attorney Guidelines of Civility and Professionalism (2007)
