Noon - 1 p.m. EST
Country music tells the stories of real people making tough choices - just like the ethical dilemmas attorneys face every day. Professional legal educator Stuart Teicher, Esq. (known as The CLE Performer) uses classic country songs to explore the rules of professional conduct in a way that's both memorable and practical. From Dolly Parton’s superior skills to Johnny Cash's redemption stories, to the lessons from today’s country pop, you'll discover how the themes in country music mirror the ethical challenges lawyers encounter with clients, courts, and colleagues. This program transforms dry ethics rules into relatable lessons using the storytelling power of country music, helping you remember key principles when real ethical dilemmas hit your practice like a freight train. Learning objectives include:
-Analyze client confidentiality scenarios through country music narratives that illustrate proper application of RPC 1.6 and common disclosure pitfalls
-Examine conflict of interest situations using song storylines that demonstrate compliance strategies for RPC 1.7 and RPC 1.9 requirements
-Evaluate attorney competence and diligence obligations under RPC 1.1 and RPC 1.3 through country music tales of personal accountability and professional responsibility
