"The Ethics of Atticus Finch"

Featuring Judy M. Cornett, Associate Professor at the University of Tennessee College of Law.

In recognition of the 50^th anniversary of Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Professor Judy Cornett, associate professor at the U.T. College of Law, will examine whether Atticus Finch acts ethically according to the Rules of Professional Conduct.
The CLE program will include clips from the legendary movie from 1962. Join fellow KBA members in looking at how Atticus Finch exemplifies the type of ethical and moral conduct that many lawyers continue to strive toward today.

Atticus Finch is the epitome of what it means to be an ethical lawyer, enduring opprobrium from the community for representing an unpopular client.

This program will remind you of that spark of inspiration that led you to law school in the first place.

Atticus Finch is truly one of the great heroes of American fiction.
