LEGAL ETHICS AND THE LINCOLN LAWYER

Have you ever watched a movie about a lawyer and said to yourself, "How can the lawyer do that?" or "There's no way that can be ethical"? If so, here is your chance to explore those issues in depth as we assess the legal ethics of attorney Mickey Haller in film entitled "The Lincoln Lawyer." This course will consider both the ABA Model Rules and the California Rules of Professional Conduct and rely heavily on class participation.
