Course Description:

It’s every litigator’s worst nightmare. Worse than appearing before a court sans-trousers. Being on the receiving end of a harsh rebuke from a judge does not end up on too many lawyer’s “Top 10 Fondest Memories” list. That being said, there is a lot to learn about oral argument from bench slaps. We look at some of the worst bench slaps, analyze why the slap occurred, and most importantly, how you can avoid it happening to you!

Course Description:

Lawyers, liars, and lunatics! This class focuses on why some people (lunatics) think that lawyers have a problem with lying. We go to the top of our profession – good ol’ Honest Abe – to see what he has to say about honesty in the legal profession. Do we have a problem with honesty? And if so, what can we do to fix it? In this class, we look at the various model rules requiring honest legal practices, such as 3.3, 4.1, 7.1 and 8.4, and then look at case examples where attorneys have been disciplined for dishonest activities. And of course, we end by vowing to not do likewise.

Every litigator has witnessed it – the attorney who insists on abusing every ethical rule in depositions. Overly aggressive paper shuffling and foot-nudges? Check. Coaching a witness with objections such as “my client can answer … if … he … knows”? Check. But believe it or not, being a class-A jerk is not only bad for your health and against the Surgeon General’s warning, it is also unethical! The Attorney General is no fan of this either. This class looks at the best, and the worst practices for depositions. After this class, you will know how to spot unethical attorney conduct during a deposition, what to do about it, and the best practices that you should be doing during your depositions.

This class will bring you closer to the Justices as you will hear how they use humor in their questions, give practical tips on how to handle funny matters in court and most importantly, show you why there is no better profession than law!
