Overview

Law-related clips from the long-running TV comedy, The Big Bang Theory, are used to set up a review of several important points of law and ethics that can arise quite frequently in general law practice -- but that are often misunderstood by many legal professionals.

Note: If you're not a fan of The Big Bang Theory TV show, then this course is probably not your cup of tea!   Instead, take a look at some of our other movie and TV-related Live Webcasts or our growing library of On-Demand courses.

3 hours of CLE, including 2 hours of ethics.
