Why do good attorneys and
organizations act unethically? The session will begin with a
discussion of the classic Stanley Milgram punishment experiments, seeking to
understand how they help explain unethical behavior. The class then uses
specific case studies to provide a foundation for an analysis regarding how the
fostering of ethical diversity within organizations can prevent the slippery
slopes that lead to administrative evil or unethical
behavior.
This CLE is approved
for credit through April 25, 2019.
