March Virtual Chapter Meeting

Ethics Awareness Month

Topic: Hollywood Ethics With a Comedy Twist

Date/Time: March 24, 2022, at Noon Central

Speaker: Joel Oster, President & General Counsel, Comedian of Law, LLC

Our presentation will be on Hollywood Ethics with a comedy twist. We will discuss whether Hollywood's depiction of the legal profession is accurate or misses the mark. From My Cousin Vinny to Lincoln Lawyer; from Atticus Finch to Lieutenant Kaffee; Hollywood lawyers have a lot to teach us about the model rules of professional conduct. Using Hollywood storylines as a starting point, we will dissect the model rules of professional conduct, and then apply them to real-life cases. And as they will never disclaim in the movies, all characters appearing in this class are NOT fictional! Any resemblance to real-life lawyers, living or dead is purely intended.

This session is free to paid members. To reserve your spot and obtain the Zoom link, send an email to kccpcu@gmail.com by Monday, March 21, 2022.
