2010 Continuing Legal Education Program

Ethics Rock Extreme: Ethics on the Cutting Edge

Friday, April 9, 2:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m.

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.

Faculty: Jack Marshall, ProEthics; Mike Messer, Singer/Songwriter

Credit: 3.0 Ethics Credit Hours, including one hour of professionalism for those states with such requirements

Fee: $89 Cosponsoring Section Members; $99 D.C. Bar members; $129 Others
