True Attorney

A new idea in CLE  video – True Attorney – is featured on the web page of the Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board

Who says continuing legal education isn’t entertaining? The Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board’s new “True Attorney: Disciplinary Case Files” web series educates lawyers in an entertaining and engaging way. Ethical dilemmas, based on actual cases, are reenacted by lawyers and actors. The program’s production values are comparable to popular television shows with dramatizations that illustrate the consequences of attorneys who violate the rules of professional conduct.

“The Disciplinary Board has always sought new and innovative ways to present continuing legal education to the lawyers in this state, particularly in the area of ethics,” explained Charles B. Plattsmier, Chief Disciplinary Counsel. “The format of the True Attorney series is different from anything we’ve tried before. I was fascinated by the approach, informed by the content, and excited about the potential. I think lawyers will agree.”

The Advocate featured an article “State board launches continuing ed Web series” in January of 2015. Click here to read it.
