*This is a new program updated for 2025. Those who attended “The 2024 Ethy Awards” will receive credit for the 2025 program.* 

Each year, Hollywood celebrates the best performances in motion pictures at the Oscars. Well, in this program, we note the worst ethics violations in the legal profession at the Ethys. Humorist Sean Carter will host the festivities and announce the award winners in the following categories: 

  • The Outlawyer Award
  • Least Competent in a Legal Representation
  • Best Supporting Actor (in a criminal activity)
  • Worst Love Scene
  • Most Creative Billing
  • Most Creative Tale
  • And much more ...

While recapping some of the most egregious instances of unethical behavior, Carter will demonstrate how the rest of us can avoid the most common ethical violations.
