    There are thousands of lawyer jokes told each day. Lawyer bashing is quickly becoming America`s favorite pastime. But why? Is it because the typical layperson is jealous of our intellects, incomes and good looks? Sean Carter, Humorist at Law, suggests that while this may be true in his case, there may be other factors at work as well. In this presentation, Mr. Carter explores the topic of lawyer jokes, whether they have any basis in fact and what they say about our adherence to the rules of professional conduct.

    Mr. Carter is the country`s foremost legal humorist and the founder of Lawpsided Seminars, a company devoted to solid continuing legal education with a healthy dose of laughter. Mr. Carter has crisscrossed the country delivering his Lawpsided Seminars for state and local bar associations, law firms, in-house corporate legal departments and law schools. Each year, he presents more than 100 humorous programs on such topics as legal ethics, stress management, constitutional law, legal marketing and much more.

    Your colleagues who have attended Mr. Carter`s courses have raved:

    • The best CLE program I have ever attended.
    • Electrifying!
    • I wish law school was this fun!
    • Awesome!
    • Fantastic!
    • Hysterical!
    • Funny, informative and eye-opening.
