Why you should attend:

• Have you wondered why the legal profession has such a poor public image, and why there are so many jokes at our expense? Has your opposing counsel ever refused to grant a reasonable request for extension? Misrepresented something you said? Impugned your integrity or ethics? Yelled at you? Called you a name? Verbally or physically threatened you? Using real world examples of lawyers behaving badly, this program will examine the importance of ethics, civility and professionalism in litigation. A panel of former Maricopa County Superior Court judges will share “judicial war stories,” and discuss how uncivil behavior impacted the court, the case, and the parties.
