Sponsored by Mesa CLE
Date: June 2, 2020

Lawyers on our favorite legal dramas – Boston Legal, The Practice, L.A. Law – often act in ways that would cause significant trouble for actual lawyers. In this multimedia presentation, legal humorist Sean Carter demonstrates some of the worst of TV lawyer behavior and explains how similar (although less severe) behavior sometimes creeps into the actual practice of law, decreasing a lawyer’s ability to best serve his or her clients and uphold the ideals of the profession.
Faculty
Sean Carter is a Harvard Law grad, who spent a decade practicing securities law before leaving the practice of law to pursue a career as the country’s foremost Humorist at Law.
Since then, Mr. Carter has crisscrossed the country delivering comedic professional educational seminars for more than 350 legal organizations in three dozen states. His presentation topics run the gamut from legal ethics to stress management to diversity. Yet, all of his presentations have one thing in common –humor and plenty of it.
In fact, in 2003, Mr. Carter was dubbed “America’s Funniest Lawyer” by The Radio and Television Interview Report.
Finally, Sean lives in Mesa, Arizona with his wife and four sons.
