Wow! They are going to cover all of those issues in one-half hour, and you get a full hour of CLE credit! Jeez, those LPOs are efficient.
Maybe their next webinar should be on the ethics of putting on CLEs. This is a webinar on the “ethics” of legal offshoring led by a CEO of a company that “offshores” American legal work. No conflict there, right? Why do I have a feeling there won’t be too much time spent on high scrutiny required when licensed attorneys are supervising non-attorneys, never mind the unauthorized practice of law issues.
What’s next? A investment bank CEO giving an ethics lecture on executive bonus allotment? An ousted governor under indictment speaking on the ethics of good government? Oh, wait a minute. I take back that last one.
