Presented by the D.C. Bar Continuing Legal Education Program; cosponsored by all 21 D.C. Bar Sections

Program Description: Don’t miss our newest musical ethics course. This course will match ethics conundrums to rock–n–roll tunes from the '70s and '80s. From the opening strains of a Queen medley, to the ethical dilemma–filled version of Billy Joel’s “Piano Man”, this course explores the latest developments in the always dynamic field of legal ethics using parodies of a wide-ranging selection of rock–n–roll artists. Among the ethics issues raised by our altered lyrics:

• Ethical perils of new technology
• Using clients’ confidences
• Settlement dilemmas
• Handling the dubious deception
• New fee issues
• Client and witness fraud
• Limits of bullying, threats and hardball
• Unwaivable conflicts that lawyers think are waived
• Moral obligations of advocacy
• Hidden perils of the exceptions to confidentiality
• …and more.
