For years, television programs such as LA Law, The Practice and Boston Legal have shown lawyers skirting ethical boundaries and playing fast and loose with the rules.  However, in 2011, USA Networks jumped the proverbial shark when it began airing Suits, a show that is literally built on the premise of the unauthorized practice of law.  And, over the next several seasons, it highlighted lawyers engaging in continuous and increasingly serious ethical violations.

In this unusual multi-media themed webinar, noted legal humorist Sean Carter will show how the lawyers on Suits play fast-and-loose with our ethical restraints and how real-life lawyers often follow suit (pardon the pun).  In particular, he will demonstrate how both TV and actual lawyers violate ethics rules as they apply to:

  • Unauthorized practice of law
  • Dishonesty
  • Conflicts of interest
  • Illegality
  • Confidentiality
  • And more

**Sean Carter is a Harvard Law grad, who spent a decade practicing securities law before leaving the practice of law to pursue a career as the country's foremost Humorist at Law.

Since then, Mr. Carter has crisscrossed the country delivering comedic professional educational seminars for more than 350 legal organizations in three dozen states. His presentation topics run the gamut from legal ethics to stress management to diversity. Yet, all of his presentations have one thing in common -- humor and plenty of it.

In fact, in 2003, Mr. Carter was dubbed "America's Funniest Lawyer" by The Radio and Television Interview Report.

Finally, Sean lives in Mesa, Arizona with his wife and four sons.
