LBA Day-Long with National Speaker, LBA Day-Long with National Speaker, Joel Oster, Comedian of Law Joel Oster, Comedian of Law Trials of the Centuries: Hollywood Movies Edition Friday, June 13 There is no better teacher than Hollywood. In this class, lawyers will uniquely learn the law – through the lens of Hollywood. We will start with the movie Molly’s Game, which tells the story of a former mogul skier who runs an illegal gambling operation. During this session, we will learn the federal law on gaming and how it is currently being enforced. In Amistad we learn about the Supreme Court case U.S. v. Schooner, and the importance of this decision to cur- rent civil rights litigation. On the Basis of Sex is the story of how Ruth Bader Ginsburg sought to eradicate discrimination on the basis of sex. This story culminates with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in Loving v. Virginia, and opinion written by RBG herself. In Truth, we learn about how the law deals with potentially defamatory journalism practices. In Mississippi Burning, we learn how the civil rights laws were used to pursue justice when three civil rights workers were murdered in Mississippi and local officials wanted to look the other way. Finally, in Judgement at Nuremberg, we learn how the law can be used to seek justice when crimes against humanity occur. For more information and a detailed agenda, visit www.loubar.org.

Yet, mere competence isn’t enough to satisfy our ethical obligations to our clients. We must instead strive for excellence. In this unique webinar, noted legal humorist Sean Carter will highlight the need for excellence in client service and demonstrate the consequences of mediocrity by recounting the sagas of past Ethy Award nominees – lawyers who earned CLE infamy for the failure to provide excellent client service.
