Description: BOO! Legal ethics is scary, so what better setting for a new and up-to-the-minute musical legal ethics class than Halloween?
There will be familiar Halloween tricks among the seasonal songs given challenging legal ethics twists, and a treat for all in-person attendees, the details of which appear below. It’s even better than Candy Corn.
The class includes such terrifying ballads as an epic parody of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” exploring ethics puzzles and nightmares galore. The Beatles’ serial killer ditty, “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer,” will also bang on the doors of some current ethical haunts. There is a legal ethics ghost story that may keep you up all night . . . and what legal ethics Halloween concert would be complete without “The Monster Mash,” though in the Marshall-Messer version, it’s product liability nightmare. The three-hour horror concludes with a creepy sing-along, “The Day My Ethics Died (And Came Back to Eat My Brains!).”
In this entirely new and original musical legal ethics offering presented by legal ethicist Jack Marshall and singer/musician Mike Messer, current and perplexing legal ethics issues will be examined and analyzed in an interactive CLE class like no other. The following are among the many ethics frights this dynamic interactive class will explore:
- The business of law and the profession of law: can they continue to co-exist?
- What to do when a co-counsel gets greedy
- Conflicts of interest
- How unenforced rules are placing clients at risk
- Still unsettled legal ethics mysteries, and up-to-the-day developments, and more
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about these topics and more while keeping in the holiday spirit!
