What can a football coach from Kansas teach attorneys about professional ethics? As it turns out, quite a lot! Join us for this unique and engaging CLE program featuring the renowned Stuart Teicher, the CLE Performer, as he draws surprising parallels between the hit show Ted Lasso and the Rules of Professional Conduct. Through iconic moments from Season One, discover how Ted's optimism, integrity and leadership style offer valuable insights for legal practitioners. You'll explore how Ted's approach to communication mirrors ethical obligations, how Danny Rojas's enthusiasm relates to professional competence and how Coach Beard's loyalty demonstrates proper supervisory responsibilities.

During this program, attendees will:

- And more!
