Heading out of town for Labor Day? Get your Exit Row Ethics and complete your ethics requirement for the year before the holiday weekend!
Stuart Teicher, the self-proclaimed "Frequent Flyer of Legal Ethics," has racked up more miles than a passenger on a Space X rocket. He's witnessed a veritable circus of passenger behaviors that uncannily mirror the ethical tightrope walk of the legal profession. From the "Armrest Anarchist" who can't respect boundaries (much like some lawyers with client funds) to the "Overhead Bin Hoarder" who thinks the rules don't apply to them (hello, conflict of interest!), Teicher has seen it all.
Through these jet-setting adventures, Teicher has become fluent in both lawyer-speak and airline jargon, allowing him to translate "please return your seatback to its full upright and locked position" into "maintain a professional demeanor at all times, even when your client is driving you nuts."
As a former attorney ethics investigator, Teicher brings a unique perspective to this entertaining and educational seminar. From first-class sneaks to pajama-clad passengers, Teicher draws compelling parallels between air travel faux pas and ethical pitfalls in law practice. This isn't just another dry ethics lecture - it's a turbulence-free journey through the critical rules that keep your legal career airborne.
Topics discussed include:
- Sneaking into first class and other deceptive tactics (Rule 8.4)
- Leaving the window shade open and other unprofessional behavior reflected in the rules (Rule 1.2)
- Wear your pajamas on the plane, but not in court (professionalism issues)
- Small airplane bottles of booze can lead to large substance abuse problems
- Where did I put my passport?! Staying organized and knowing your file (competence)
- "You may experience some turbulence…" - The importance of open communication with your clients
- NEW: The Overhead Bin Dilemma – balancing client interests and ethical obligations
- NEW: "Is there a doctor on board?" – knowing when to seek help or refer a client
Don't let your ethics education be a drag! Join us for this high-flying seminar that will have you laughing while you learn. By the end, you'll be equipped to navigate the friendly skies of legal ethics with confidence and grace.
Fasten your seatbelts, stow your ethical dilemmas in the overhead compartment, and prepare for takeoff with Exit Row Ethics!
