The KBA CLE program "Ethics Bowl XIX: Redemption Year - A Second Bite of the Apple" was originally presented and recorded on December 5, 2025.

A fun & informative way to earn your required ethics/dual CLE credits! This entertaining ethics seminar will provide practical insights that will help you identify risks and comply with your ethical obligations. Attendees will have the opportunity to test their knowledge of the ethics rules in an interactive "Family Feud” game show format where teams of local attorneys compete for the coveted "Ethics Bowl Trophy." In this timely ethics CLE, each team will tackle questions related to the issue of professional responsibility. The 2025 Ethics Bowl combines the excitement of a competitive tournament with a valuable educational experience for lawyers of all practice areas and years of experience.
