Musical CLEs

thinSkullP 3/6/2008 4:17:02 PM	Original Post - As part of the District of Columbia Bar, I receive a publication called Washington Lawyer. The March 2008 edition announces the 2008 District of Columbia Judicial and Bar Conference (4/10 & 4/11) in which there is a "Musical CLE" called "Embraceable Ethics: The Ballads of the Virtuous Lawyer." This, apparently, is a series that is described as a "unique, interactive legal ethics course [that] uses the immortal ballads of the 1930s, 40s and 50s to explore important current ethics issues that every lawyer needs to understand." How creative! Has anyone been to anything like this?

Most of my CLEs are so dry that it is hard to stay awake, although I have to say that I almost went to "Wills of the Rich and Famous" because it sounded tabloidesque. Alas, "Legal Issues in Hiring and Firing Employees" would probably be more timely.
