The TBA’s Sunrise Series continues next Tuesday with “Deal or No Deal: Ethics on Trial,” a fast-paced program that puts legal ethics to the test through real-world scenarios. Led by Joel Oster, the “Comedian of Law,” the session presents attorneys with the facts of actual cases and asks them to decide whether to accept a deal or take their chances at trial, exploring ethical pitfalls such as improper juror contact, courtroom misconduct, dishonest advocacy, inappropriate client relationships and substance abuse. The webcast replay will be available Dec. 23 from 7:30 to 9 a.m. CST and is accessible online on the TBA website.
