Good Lawyers Gone Bad: True Crime Lessons for In-House Counsel

Recorded On: 09/17/2025

  • Registration Closed

True crime doesn't just happen in dark alleys and abandoned warehouses. It happens in conference rooms and courthouses, too. And when it's lawyers who perpetrate those crimes, they have another problem: Ethics issues. 

In this third installment of ACC's 2025 legal ethics series, nationally renowned ethics expert, Stuart Teicher, returns to explore bad barrister behavior and the ethics lessons that lie beneath. After talking about real missteps committed by actual lawyers and the causes of such bad decisions, Stuart will distill the ethics lessons that are especially relevant to in-house counsel:

- Client pressure and the need for in house counsel to remain independent - Rule 2.1, Advisor
- Pushing the ethical envelope too far - Rule 8.4, Misconduct
- The role of mental health issues in a lawyer's duty to withdraw - Rule 1.16, Withdrawal
- And more!

Whether it's true lawyer crime or true lawyer slime, the ethics lessons will help in-house lawyers avoid getting bit in their true-lawyer behind.
