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. In the latest installment of this popular series, actor, writer, producer and recovering lawyer, Mark Wooster, presents a humorous take on what lawyers should not do in the service of their clients. Using clips from some recent television shows and a recent feature film, Mark will illustrate the ethics rules that apply to lawyers who can’t seem to behave themselves like ethical human beings much less ethical lawyers. Reserve your seat today and we’ll waive the two-drink minimum!

Rules covered include:

  • ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct 1.7, 1.9, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 4.1, 4.2, 7.3 & 8.4
  • ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct, Rule 2.2
