DESCRIPTION

What do Gwyneth Paltrow, J. Lo, and Ryan Seacrest all have in common? They all had messy, public breakups that offer surprisingly rich lessons about attorney ethics and professional conduct. Professional legal educator Stuart Teicher, Esq. (known as The CLE Performer) uses celebrity relationship drama to explore the rules of professional conduct in ways that are both memorable and practical. From power couple joint representation disasters to confidentiality breaches that make tabloid headlines, these high-profile relationship meltdowns mirror the ethical dilemmas attorneys face in their own practices. You’ll discover how celebrity scandals illuminate key ethical principles, making complex rules easier to understand and remember when real ethical challenges arise in your practice. This program combines real celebrity situations with hypothetical scenarios to create engaging teaching moments that stick. Learning objectives: include:

 -Analyze joint representation pitfalls using celebrity couple scenarios that demonstrate proper application of RPC 1.7 conflict of interest rules and waiver requirements;

-Examine confidentiality obligations through high-profile relationship disputes that illustrate the boundaries and exceptions under RPC 1.6 and attorney-client privilege concepts;

-Evaluate truthfulness and candor requirements under RPC 8.4(c) through celebrity deception cases that highlight the distinction between personal conduct and professional misconduct.
