Imagine the drafters of our ethics code as masterminds, viewing lawyers as having superpowers—abilities so extraordinary they could rival a comic book hero’s, yet dangerous if left unchecked. This CLE program dives into that vision, presenting the ethics rules as the trusty sidekick that keeps our powers on the path of good, not evil. With a nod to superhero lore, this session offers a clear, engaging look at how the code shapes our professional might.
Led by Stuart Teicher, a seasoned attorney and educator, the program explores key rules with practical insight and a touch of fun. Think of Rule 1.2 as the shield defining who calls the shots, or Rule 1.16 as the escape hatch for a hero’s exit. These aren’t just regulations, they’re the framework that ensures our strengths – like advising with wisdom or facing foes fairly – serve justice. Using relatable examples and a hint of superhero flair, this course shows how the code keeps us grounded, no cape required.
Learning objectives include:
- The allocation of decision-making authority between lawyer and client (Rule 1.2)
- The rule about withdrawing from representation (Rule 1.16)
- Our duties as an advisor (Rule 2.1)
- Fairness to opposing party and counsel (Rule 3.4)
- Respect for rights of third persons (RPC 4.4)
This program blends serious learning with a light superhero twist, perfect for lawyers who want to master the ‘why’ behind the rules. It’s a chance to see the code as our ethical utility belt—keeping our powers sharp and righteous. Sign up today for a CLE that’s insightful, practical, and anything but ordinary!
