Guthrie, Esq. | Barry R. Vickrey, Esq. | Charles Abourezk, Esq. | Alicia Garcia, Esq. | John M. Stuart, Esq.Course Levels:IntermediateDuration:3 Hours 05 MinutesA master of the courtroom stage, who possessed an uncanny understanding of human character, Clarence Darrow was arguably the greatest trial lawyer of the twentieth century. He was an adamant opponent of capital punishment and a passionate proponent of civil and human rights. Often called the “Attorney for the Damned,” he fought for the underdog and took on criminal cases thought to be hopeless. Yet, while commanding respect as a trial lawyer, Darrow was often embroiled in bitter controversy for his unpopular stands on many issues and criticized for his purported unethical professional behavior. This spellbinding and realistic character portrait of Darrow portrays his deeply held beliefs and hard-fought courtroom battles. Replete with humor, humanity and intense courtroom drama, the movie engages attendees in four of the great defense lawyer’ s most famous cases between 1910 and 1928: Loeb and Leopold, Henry Sweet, the McNamara Brothers bombing of the LA Times Building and the Scopes “Monkey Trial.” Using Darrow’s own thoughts and courtroom summations, the movie explores timeless social, legal and ethical issues and provides a fresh and engaging tool to facilitate discussion of ethical behavior in and out of the courtroom.CLE TIME: The webinar features the movie and a filmed panel discussion and runs 3 hours.The filmed panel discussion is moderated by Attorney Brian T. Guthrie. During this on-demand viewing, attendees can also submit questions to Guthrie via email. Throughout the webinar, this presentation deals with issues relating to the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, including:Preamble: A Lawyer’s ResponsibilitiesRule 1.2:     Scope of Representation and Allocation of Authority Between Lawyer and ClientRule 1.6:     ConfidentialityRule 1.7:     Conflict of Interest:  General RuleRule 1.13:   Organizational ClientsRule 2.1:     AdvisorRule 3.5:     Impartiality and Decorum of the TribunalRule 5.1:     Responsibilities of a Partner, Managing Lawyer or Supervisory LawyerRule 5.2:     Responsibilities of a Subordinate Lawyer                  Rule 5.3:     Responsibilities Regarding Nonlawyer AssistantsRule 8.3:     Reporting Professional MisconductProduced by:Handouts Clarence Darrow – On-Demand Materials (1.7 MB) 49 Pages Available after Purchase Faculty Graham Thatcher Related seminars and products: 3 Periaktos ProductionsGRAHAM THATCHER, who portrays Sir Thomas More, was the Artistic Director and primary performer for Periaktos Productions.
