Legal Ethics is Cool

Stuart Teicher

Yes, I really believe it. I think legal ethics is cool...and that’s why I teach it for a living. I’m a professor, CLE speaker, and ethics lover...and I’m tired of denying it! In this podcast I explain the cool lessons from legal ethics and interview cool legal-ethics-related people (yes, we exist).

    Interview with Chief Disciplinary Counsel from Pennsylvania

    I interviewed Tom Farrell, Chief Disciplinary Counsel for Pennsylvania. Some interesting takeaways (1) State authorities don't always agree with the ethics opinions issues by the ABA. Case in point: we had an interesting discussion about the recent opinion on nonrefundable fixed fees paid in advance. Spoiler alert- PA doesn't agree with the ABA. (2) the issue Tom's very concerned about are lawyers who suffer demential or cognitive decline. There's more interesting stuff.

    An Interview with Vermont Bar Counsel

    In this episode of the podcast I interview Mike Kennedy, Vermont Bar Counsel. And oh, when you listen you'll hear a bunch of craziness of how I changed the name of the podcast. I decided not to do that. So even though I mention that I'm rolling this podcast into my other program (the Good Lawyers Gone Bad Podcast), I've decided not to do that. I'm keeping them distinct after all. But I already recorded that in the interview...so just ignore it!

    Lawyers came THIS close to being barred from using Zoom ever again
