Civility: Wild Depositions and Overaggressive Behavior

Property of New Media Legal Publishing, Inc.

The State Bar civility guidelines are aspirational, but in this program Peter Afrasiabi walks through how hewing to civility can actually improve our success as advocates. Watch lawyers and clients fighting, literally almost coming to blows, yelling, threatening, and all manner of behavior, with appearances by Bieber to Lil Wayne no less, this program gets you the specialized credit you need without preaching virtues to you, and instead by demonstrating how principles of positive advocacy—objectivity, credibility, respect—actually sit beneath the civility guideposts letting you be a better advocate.
