Why Good Attorneys and Organizations Do Bad Things

Event Description

Deadline to Register: March 22, 2017

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.

Lunch and registration will begin at 11:45 a.m. The program will begin at 12:00 p.m. 

If you need transportation to the CLE, consider taking the light rail to the Robert Street Station, which is one block from the Judicial Center. Parking can be tight in the Capitol area, especially during the Legislative Session.
