You know that feeling you get when you roll your eyes or want to yell at the screen because a fictional lawyer in a movie or television show mishandled a legal ethics dilemma? We can learn from these scenarios. In this program, we’ll set the stage with examples of how the fictional lawyer dealt with a thorny issue and then break down how the lawyer got it wrong (or right) by applying the California Rules of Professional Conduct. You may have seen our original presentation, and maybe even the sequel; now, join us for the “prequel,” where we consider classic movies and shows that have shaped public perceptions of who lawyers are and what they can do. 

Topics

Unauthorized Practice of Law
