Some lawyers are famous for the right reasons, while others are famous (read: infamous) for all the wrong reasons. This entertaining program chronicles the rise and fall of several infamous attorneys – ranging from President Richard Nixon to Roy Cohn to Michael Avenatti – and discusses how their conduct ran afoul of the law and the legal ethics rules. The program materials include an ethical violation scorecard so can play along as we catalog the legal ethics violations committed by this rogues gallery of disbarred attorneys.
