DESCRIPTION
The first season of the Lincoln Lawyer series was the most popular English-language Netflix show having made the Top 10 in 90 countries. Although we enjoyed watching the exploits of the Lincoln Lawyer, was he ethical? The goal of this program is for attorneys to review the Rules of Professional Conduct while discussing this fascinating series. To do so, we will use film clips to examine the Lincoln Lawyer’s conduct, and determine whether he violated the Rules of Professional Conduct including:
Rule 1.1, Competence of Counsel,
Rule 1.2, Allocation of Authority Between a Client and Lawyer,
Rule 1.6, Confidentiality of Information, and
Rule 3.3, Candor Toward the Tribunal.
Lawyer ethics is germane to the legal profession and delivery of legal services.
