The courses in this bundle extract useful and practical lessons for lawyers by looking into the legal files of famous people, including famous historical figures from the past, as well as present-day celebrities. Why not add a dose of fun into your CLE experience?
Hone your courtroom skills by emulating the great lawyering that was displayed in four of the great trials in history - the trial of the Lindbergh kidnapper, the trials of Old West legends Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, the trial of Sir Walter Raleigh, and one of the trials arising out of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
Learn what every lawyer needs to know about trademarks and copyrights, as illustrated by many recent high-profile cases. Discover the rapidly emerging body of law governing pets and other animals, with illustrations provided by a few famous animals...and humans.

Shawnassey Brooks mentions some of her high-profile clients while acquainting general practitioners with what you need to know when your client hopes to make it big in the movie and TV industries.
Earn your Substance Abuse/Mental Health credit as Billy Newman examines the mental health issues that challenged many of our former U. S. Presidents. Billy uses these historical examples to normalize the pervasiveness of mental health issues in the general population -- and especially within the legal profession. He then offers some insight and hopeful encouragement about diagnosis and recovery.
Finally, earn your annual 2 hours of ethics credit as Billy Newman extracts memorable lessons in legal ethics from the most famous comic strips characters of all time -- Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, and the whole Peanuts(R) gang! Billy rounds out the ethics portion of this bundle with Ethics of Diligence & Time Management, in which he makes a few quick references to a couple of historical figures who gave us some great quotes about time management!
