Ethics Film Series
Registration for the Spring 2009 Advocacy and Ethics Film Series is now closed.
Check back soon for information on future sessions.
NOTE: In consideration of the current economic situation, and Illinois attorneys' desire to earn Professional Responsibility credits with quality programming, we are pleased to offer the spring Ethics Film Series at a significant discount.
Each session in this series will be offered for $125 (down from $225), which includes the option to earn 2.0 credits per session, as opposed to 1.5 credits.* Attend two sessions to earn 4.0 credits and complete the requirement!
*Credits break down to 0.5 earned for watching the film and 1.5 earned through in-class discussion. To allow sufficient time to view your film(s) prior to discussion, please register a minimum of 48 hours in advance.
Films often portray the best and worst of the legal profession, providing an ideal method for analyzing and evaluating both positive and negative
aspects of the practice of law. Join us for a lively moderated discussion of crucial issues in advocacy and legal ethics, as raised in three
award winning films.
This series, presented in conjunction with Northwestern Law's Bartlit Center for Trial Strategy, features three of our most well-regarded professors
who consistently rank as students’ favorites.
