Lincoln on Professionalism was created by the Atlanta Bar Association in partnership with the Chief Justice’s Commission on
Professionalism in Georgia in celebration of the 200th Anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. The program presents ten vignettes that
contain the writings of Abraham Lincoln to create a documentary-style program on professionalism. The exemplary qualities of personal
honor and legal professionalism that Lincoln demonstrated day in and day out in his law practice are presented in the slides, readings and
contemporary commentary that comprise the program. The vignettes provide comments and conclusions on the following in the practice of
law …
Lack of Vanity • Candor with the Court • Justice and Fairness • Candor to Opposing Counsel • Dignity and Civility •
Courtesy and Goodwill • Brevity and Clarity • Candor to Client • Diligence • Conclusions for Modern Day Lawyers
The vignettes are accompanied by a live Moderated Chat Room in which attendees can participate in discussion about how Lincoln’s
standards apply to ethics and professionalism in the legal profession of today

opponent of capital punishment and a passionate proponent of civil and human rights. Often called the “Attorney for the
Damned,” he fought for the underdog and took on criminal cases thought to be hopeless. Yet, while commanding respect as
a trial lawyer, Darrow was often embroiled in bitter controversy for his unpopular stands on many issues, and criticized for
his purported unethical professional behavior. This spellbinding and realistic character portrait of Darrow portrays his deeply
held beliefs and hard fought courtroom battles. Replete with humor, humanity and intense courtroom drama, the movie
engages attendees in four of the great defense lawyer’s most famous cases between 1910 and 1928: Loeb and Leopold,
Henry Sweet, the McNamara Brothers bombing of the LA Times Building and the Scopes “Monkey Trial.” Using Darrow’s own
thoughts and courtroom summations, the movie explores timeless social, legal and ethical issues and provides a fresh and
engaging tool to facilitate discussion of ethical behavior in and out of the courtroom.
The movie will be followed by a filmed panel discussion and a live Moderated Chat Room discussion through which
attendees can generate further questions and discussion about ethical issues in legal practice.

Attorneys and actors share a common mission … to create a riveting drama that demands the
listener’s attention and directs the listener’s point of view to convince him or her of the story’s desired outcome!
Persuasion is the point of every word the actor and the lawyer speaks. A performance comes alive when the actor or lawyer connects
deeply with an audience through a masterful command of evocative language, human emotion and skillful pacing … resulting in an ovation
for the actor … a decisive WIN for the attorney. Presented in three sessions – webcast attendees join a workshop that offers concrete
solutions to courtroom “performance” and presentation challenges.
SESSION I: Acting like a Human Being: Demeanor and Skills in Storytelling (Opening Statement and Closing Argument).
Attendees learn the elements of storytelling, how to create and deliver “telegrams” (ten word messages from lawyer to juror) and explore
and use their own personal demeanors for sharing the client’s story in the courtroom.
SESSION II: Actor/Playwright Meets Lawyer: Inflection, Orchestration and Meter (Closing Argument)
Through written and performance exercises and observation, attendees learn meter and rhythm in language and the importance of the three
primary delivery inflections … falling, rising and sustaining and how to apply them to closing argument.
SESSION III: Directing the Trial: Skills in Questioning and Controlling Focus (Direct and Cross) In this portion of the program, the
viewer learns how to not only control the focus of the jurors, but also how to control the witness in both direct and cross examination.
Through watching the participants and watching through the eyes of the witness and the juror, the attorney learns what it feels like to be in
those places in the courtroom in order to get a greater understanding of how to control those who sit in those places. The rising inflection
(the questioning inflection) is also briefly reviewed and viewers are able to observe additional examples.
Alan Blumenfeld and Katherine James will take questions and moderate the live Chat Room discussion.

Featuring Christopher Lowell
Search others for their virtues. Search thyself for thy vices.
Even in Ben Franklin’s time, the public held cynical views about lawyers. How can one be a better practitioner and help
negate some of the lingering negative attitudes toward today’s lawyers? In this engaging and informative program, Ben
Franklin (who worked with more lawyers than most modern day practitioners) challenges today’s lawyers to expand their
own notion of ethics much as he, himself, did during his own life. Portrayed by Christopher Lowell, internationally acclaimed
actor, historian, and Franklin scholar, Ben discusses the ethical issues he confronted and challenges attendees to put ethical
considerations at the heart of legal practice. Franklin speaks of the importance of ethical practices and the spirit of Pro Bono
Publico as the underpinnings of a virtuous life. Topics include Ethics in Documentation, Ethics and Relationships, Ethics and
Fees, Ethics and Loyalty and the importance of Humility and Honesty.
A live chat room discussion with a Moderator is available throughout the program.

Ethics
His passions were protection of the environment, civil rights, freedom of speech hour
and the right of the individual to non-conformity and dissent! Does not qualify for Kansas Credit
When William O. Douglas retired from the U.S. Supreme Court in 1975, he had served longer than any other justice in its history and had helped
to decide some of the most important cases in the history of the nation. Anecdote, humor and painful remembrances are used to explore some of
the most explosive issues of William O. Douglas’ thirty-six year tenure on the U.S. Supreme Court. Douglas wrestles with balancing what he calls
the “wilderness mind” with the often-hostile adversarial conflicts created by his controversial opinions and his active public life. He addresses the
issues about which he was most passionate as he reflects on Brown v. Board of Education, the “McCarthy Era” and the Vietnam War. William O.
Douglas left a legacy that calls for vigilance to protect human rights and action to protect the earth’s environment. The movie explores that legacy,
and provokes thought about our responsibilities, not only as lawyers, but also as citizens of the world.
The movie will be followed by a filmed panel discussion and a live Moderated Chat Room in which attendees can participate in a discussion
about issues in the play as they relate to the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct and Code of Judicial Conduct.

Ethics
In 1535 one lawyer chose personal conscience over public loyalty hours
and so threatened those in power that they killed him! Does not qualify for Kansas Credit
Some have called Sir Thomas More the first “modern man.” He was certainly the quintessential Renaissance man ... lawyer,
statesman, philosopher, linguist, raconteur, Chancellor of England ... and author of one of the great books of western
civilization, Utopia. Despite all that, King Henry VIII beheaded Sir Thomas More in 1535 for high treason. This drama
takes the audience into the last intensely intimate hour with Sir Thomas More just before his execution in 1535 for high
treason. Still wrestling with the moral dilemmas that led him to the block, he cracks jokes, makes up songs, takes jabs at
his tormentors and eventually finds peace in his fate. An extraordinary one-man tour de force, the movie sparkles with wit,
explores moral questions and provides keen insight into the universal human condition. The show explores conflicts between
private conscience and public loyalty and ethical and moral decisions in legal practice.
The movie will be followed by a filmed panel discussion and a live moderated Chat Room discussion, through which
attendees can generate questions and discussion about ethical issues in legal practice.

Thurgood Marshall is one of the giant figures in the history of American jurisprudence. As the passionate and embattled civil rights lawyer
who acted as the lead attorney for the plaintiffs in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, KS, he helped win the U.S. Supreme Court
decision to legally end racial segregation in the public schools in the United States. He was the first African American to serve as Solicitor
General of the United States and became the first African American to serve as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
The movie will be followed by a filmed panel discussion and a live Moderated Chat Room in which attendees can ask questions and offer
comments about ethical and bias concerns in the legal profession.
