Stuart Teicher, Esq.
CLE Performer and Ethics Educator

What do Anti-Hero and Top Gun have in common? Ethics, of course!

Everyone knows Taylor Swift as an artist, but she’s made some pretty smart moves in the courtroom, too. Tom Cruise is a Hollywood icon, while his movies are also relevant to lawyers. 

Join CLE Performer Stuart Teicher as he explains the ethics lessons that two titans of entertainment can teach lawyers. He will use clips from some of Cruise’s biggest movies and a few snippets of Swift’s biggest songs to compare, contrast and illustrate points of CLE. You don’t have to be a Swiftie or a Cruise fan to watch the program, but you might become one when you’re done! 

Topics include:

  • Being awesome at what you do and competence (Rule 1.1)
  • Taylor’s Version - Copyright cases and frivolous claims (Rule 3.1)
  • Foregoing an FTX deal by doing diligence (Rule 1.3)
  • What Jerry Maguire teaches about elimination of bias in the legal profession
  • A Few Good Men and lying to a tribunal (Rule 3.3)
  • And Much More!
