Description:
A great actress once said “Everything I learned, I learned from the
movies.” Fortunately she was not a lawyer. Some of our favorite and
unforgettable movie characters over the years have been lawyers. These
characters have made us laugh, cry, and inspired us to do great things.
But sometimes what we learn from the big screen may not fly in the
real-world where the Rules of Professional Conduct govern lawyers’
conduct. Join us for a fun-filled evening where we will explore some of
the ethics issues that arise in lawyer movies including the duties of
candor, competence, and the unauthorized practice of law. Ethics credits
and popcorn to be provided by the City Bar.
