TRIALS OF THE CENTURIES- HOLLYWOOD EDITION
8 HOURS OF CLE INCLUDING 2 HOUR ETHICS
In our Trials of the Centuries series, we learn from the best in history. They say that those that don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. This series will ensure your legal career reflects the best practices from yesteryear. This segment focuses on the trials that have captured the imagination of Hollywood. From On the Basis of Sex, to Mississippi Burning, we will review the legal strategies, the law involved, of the cases that ended up being canonized in movie reels. For example, On the Basis of Sex tells the story of how a very young Ruth Bader Ginsburg set out on a path to change the law to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex. In these culturally impactful cases and stories, we look at the trial strategies, the issues involved, the outcomes, and how those cases can make you a better lawyer today.
