New Jersey (NJ) Ethics CLE Course Catalog

Stuart Teicher (the CLE Performer) travels all across the country giving CLE programs, and he runs into a ton of celebrities on the road. In this program, Stuart will be showing photos of all the selfies he took with celebrities, and connecting those encounters to lessons of professionalism and civility in the practice of law.

This program uses a hypothetical negotiation between lawyers representing a writer seeking to sell a script and a film studio seeking to buy it to illustrate how the ethics rules apply when lawyers act as negotiators. Participants will walk away with concrete, practical advice, including: What you can and cannot misrepresent or conceal in a negotiation and why; wow to handle tricky issues such as estimates of price or value, willingness to compromise, bottom lines and settlement authority; what statements of law or fact may be considered “material” in negotiations; and when puffing, posturing and exaggerating cross the line.

The program will include a review of the legal ethics rules that apply to lawyers when we negotiate as well as some powerful techniques you can use to legally, ethically and strategically respond when the other side is using negotiation “dirty tricks” and bad faith tactics against you.
