LA Law(less) - Don't Be Like Mike Kuzak
1:00 – 2:00 p.m., 1.0 ethics
Live Webinar Only
Speaker: Sean Carter, Mesa CLE
Lawyers on our favorite TV legal dramas often act in ways that would cause significant trouble for actual lawyers.
In this program, the presenter will use short (30-60 second) video clips from the very popular series, LA Law, to demonstrate some of the legal ethics violations that played out on the show. While these examples will provide for a more engaging experience for the lawyer attendee, they will also serve as a reminder that our clients have viewed these same programs, giving them an unrealistic view of the role of an attorney and the tactics available to that attorney in the furtherance of the client’s cause.
Finally, lawyers will be reminded to manage client expectations by having candid conversations detailing just what the lawyer can (and more importantly, cannot) do during representation.
