Legal Ethics Is No Laughing Matter: What Lawyer Jokes Say About Our Ethical Foibles
There are thousands of lawyer jokes told each day. Lawyer bashing is quickly becoming America's favorite pastime. But why? Is it because the typical layperson is jealous of our intellects, incomes and good looks? Sean Carter, Humorist at Law, suggests that while this may be true in his case, there may be other factors at work as well.
In this one-of-a-kind ethics presentation, Mr. Carter explores the topic of lawyer jokes, whether they have any basis in fact and what they say about our adherence to the rules of professional conduct. He does so through the use of video clips dramatizing these jokes. He also will use audience polling and questions from attendees to spread the "laughter."
