How would you rate the value of the materials provided as part of the course?
Very good and very inspiring!!
I was disappointed. This was more of a political essay (I don’t say speech because the speaker simply read to the audience a paper he had written down). As to the content, there was only passing mention of legal ethics and, then, no specificity of the ethical charges against lawyers that were pursued (most of which were evidently still ‘pending’ or had been dismissed) and what the arguments supporting those ethical charges were and the arguments made in opposition by the charged lawyers. While I agree with some of the speakers’ positions, I am surprised this presentation was approved for ethics credit by the State Bar.
