Every lawyer is pledged to uphold the honor of our profession. Each of us tries to do this every day. When Kenneth Feinberg was appointed as the Special Master of the Federal September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001, he had to ask himself just what that obligation means in practice. His first decision was to accept no compensation for the post. His next was how to value the lives lost. In the ensuing months, he heard stories reflecting all that is most heroic and some that is venal in human natureÑand he had to find the patience and courage to listen to these stories every day. Listen to his own story and consider how you would respond if you were called to serve in a uniquely difficult situation. This session qualifies for one credit in ethics and professionalism.

"This was the most moving CLE I have ever heard. It was fascinating to note how Mr. Feinberg's experiences had little to do with the money awarded to the victims' families. This hour offered an uplifting window into people's lives and the love they have for their families. I am saddened too, by the families who refused the money because they could have channeled it into a purpose for which their loved one supported. Thanks Mr. Feinberg! I hope all law schools buy your book for their Ethics classes. It should be required reading." (Langhorne, PA)
"This by far was the best continuing education seminar that I have ever viewed in my Twenty-Four years as a licensed attorney. At times, I literally had to hold back tears listening to Mr. Feinberg speak about his experience with the September 11 victim suviviors while he administered the said compenstation fund. The response of the legal profession to assist with pro bono representation was truly a situation where the law profession could hold its head high. I am sorry that I did not have the opportunity to be involved with this fund as a lawyer. However, at times when the situation warrants I do represent clients pro bono. This ethical continuing eduation seminar is a find example of how lawyers can be both professional and humanistic." (Newtown Square, PA)
