  Presented by Joel Oster, Comedian of Law LLC

  
  

  This class is a comprehensive de-briefing of the law.  Starting with ethics, we review the crazy predicaments some ethically-challenged attorneys have found themselves.  You will have to decide based on the severity of the facts and the relevant model rule, would you take a deal for that violation.  While Hollywood might not be setting the finest examples when it comes to actual morals and ethics, they do a good job of exhibiting legal ethics.  We will explore the Model Rules through the eyes of Hollywood.  From Hollywood, it’s not a long journey to our legal rock stars – the Nine! The Supreme Court, aka, the Real League of Justice, has been busy exerting their super hero legal powers.  We will review recent landmark Supreme Court case.  For example, Masterpiece Cakeshop and stale while wedding cake: discrimination or a valid excuse to skip your cousin’s wedding?  Finally, we will take a countdown of the Top 10 Wacky cases.  You might be surprised what you will learn about legal strategy from these headline cases.

  August Bar Luncheon

  Magna Carta and Kansas Law CLE

  presented by Hon. Norbert Marek, 2nd Judicial District

  Friday, August 2

  11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

  Capitol Plaza Hotel

  Emerald Ballroom (Hotel Side)

  11:30 a.m. - Registration & Lunch

  12-12:50 p.m. - Magna Carta and Kansas Law CLE  

  Presented by Hon. Norbert Marek, 2nd Judicial District  

  All Kansas lawyers have probably heard of the Magna Carta and perhaps been taught that it is a foundational document for establishing English liberties under the common law.  Very few probably know what the Magna Carta actually said or that provisions of it can be found in the laws of Kansas.  Take a one-hour trip back to the year 1215 while you engage in a detailed review of the actual provisions of the Magna Carta that are the most important to Kansas judges and lawyers.  Along the way you will compare Magna Carta to current Kansas law.  Warning:  Lawyers who attend this seminar might end up citing the 800-year-old Magna Carta in your next legal opinion or brief.

  $20 - TBA members
  

  $40 - Non-TBA members

  Approved for 1.0 Hour of  CLE Credit.
