You know that feeling you get when you want to yell at the screen because a fictional lawyer in a television show mishandled a legal ethics dilemma? In this CLE, we will set the stage with examples of how fictional attorneys handled a thorny issue, and then break down how the attorney got it wrong (or right) by discussing the professional conduct duties that we owe to clients.
