CLE = COMEDIC LEGAL EDUCATION
For many lawyers, sitting through a lecture on legal ethics or professionalism can be the equivalent of traffic school. In fact, many lawyers view CLE as being worse than traffic school. After all, at least with traffic school, they've done something wrong to deserve their "punishment." That's why Mr. Carter has developed an alternative to traditional CLE programs -- comedic legal education. For the last three years, Mr. Carter has crisscrossed the country giving humorous CLE talks to state and local bar associations, law firms and in-house legal departments in more than 25 states. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. "We brought Sean in for the opening keynote speech at this year’s annual Bar Conference. He also stayed on and did a breakout session the following day. We had Sean do an ethics presentation which has drawn more favorable comments from Bar members than any other presentation we have given in the last four years. (And we have been very popular among the CLE choices available.) Sean’s keynote was so good that the breakout session did not have any empty chairs (room of about 150 or so) and several people came in and stood in the back throughout his session. You will not go wrong finding a spot in your next program for Mr. Carter."
