Enough is Enough: Avoiding Vexatious Lawyering
Presented by: Legal Humorist Sean Carter

While lawyers are expected to provide their clients with zealous representation, we are not allowed to become outright zealots in pursuit of our client's objectives. Yet, time and again, this is precisely what happens as lawyers become fixated on winning at all costs. And as a result, they end up paying the ultimate price -- the loss of their license to practice law.

Keep the "Law" in Lawyer: The Importance of Knowing AND Following the Law
Presented by: Legal Humorist Sean Carter

While lawyers are trained to advocate for others, they often find themselves at the center of the controversy when their own personal conduct crosses the line from "eccentric" to criminal. In this one-hour program, legal humorist Sean Carter examines the general categories of criminality that most frequently ensnare members of the bar. From the seemingly trivial world of petty larceny and shoplifting to the complex web of administrative fraud and government-targeted scams, this session provides a sobering look at how the ethics rules apply to a lawyer's life outside the courtroom. Using real-world examples of "lawpsided" behavior, the program explores why the disciplinary system often imposes harsher penalties than the criminal justice system and how a single lapse in judgment, whether on a city street corner or at a grocery store self-checkout, can permanently alter a lawyer's career.

Barely Competent = Fully Disbarred: Doing the Bare Minimum Leads to Maximum Exposure
Presented by: Legal Humorist Sean Carter

In a profession obsessed with prestige, it's easy to focus on the tailored suit and the mahogany desk while neglecting the actual engine of the practice. But as many a disciplined attorney has discovered, looking the part is only half the battle; and it's the half that doesn't keep you from losing your license. In this hilarious yet sobering webinar, legal humorist Sean Carter explores the mathematical certainty that "barely competent" behavior eventually equals "fully disbarred" results.

Using humor, Sean deconstructs Rule 1.1 into its four essential pillars: (1) Knowledge, (2) Skill, (3) Thoroughness, and (4) Preparation. Through a rapid-fire review of real-world disciplinary files, this program serves as a critical reminder that while the state bars set the minimum standard for entry, the disciplinary boards have a very different definition of "adequate."
