Movie lawyers lead tough lives, particularly corporate lawyers. From the 1976 film Network to the 2007 film Michael Clayton, the fantastic situations of our big screen counterparts offer real world lessons. Using short film clips of ethically challenged movie lawyers to illustrate the requirements of the rules of professional responsibility, Hollywood's portrayal of corporate counsel enables us to demonstrate practical requirements of the rules of ethics. By drawing on familiar movies, this session enhances audience interaction and provides very tangible examples of the rules in action. From negotiation ethics to privilege, dealing with employees to document retention, audience participants will be encouraged to opine regarding their views of the movie lawyer behavior, and the panel of both in-house and outside counsel will draw from the film examples to present other hypotheticals and examples that will keep the program grounded in real world application to the practicing lawyer.
