1.0 hr. CLE/Ethics

About the event

This CLE offers one hour of Ethics credit through a review of the beloved character, Atticus Finch. Published in 1960, during a time of great social, economic and political change in the United States, To Kill a Mockingbird is a treasured novel that addresses important issues of race, equity and equality. Sixty years later, Atticus Finch maintains his place as a seminal character for attorney ethics. For attorneys, the novel reminds us of the important role we serve in our society to ensure equity in our legal system, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and religious beliefs.

Speaker: Raymond P. Dudlo, Stoll Keenon Ogden
