• Credit Type:Legal EthicsFaculty:Christopher Lowell | Anna Marie Thatcher | Brian T. Guthrie, Esq.Course Levels:IntermediateDuration:1 Hour 07 MinutesDescriptionEven in Ben Franklin's time, the public held cynical views about lawyers.

• Have things changed?

• What can we learn from historical perspectives on lawyers?

• How can one be a better practitioner and help negate some of the lingering negative attitudes toward today’s lawyers?
