Description:
We all know that CLE programs are boring and a chore to watch. But we’re breaking the rules – a CLE program that’s intentionally funny and (gasp) entertaining, yet somehow still informative. In the latest installment of this popular series, Mark Wooster uses the boorish behavior of lawyers in TV series and films from the 1950’s through the 1990’s to illustrate why “You Can’t Do That Anymore!” under federal and state anti-discrimination laws and the legal ethics rules. Come for the outrageous examples of racism and sexism – and stay for the elimination of bias credit. Reserve your seat today and we’ll waive the two-drink minimum!
