Disorder in the Court: An Attorney’s Guide to Judicial Misconduct

The Rules also mandate that attorneys will face professional misconduct charges themselves, if they knowingly assisting a judge in behavior that violates the Code. Because of this, it is imperative that Illinois attorneys be familiar with the Illinois Code of Judicial Conduct and what should be expected from the Bench. Don’t miss this interactive and entertaining presentation in which Philip Bogdanoff uses video clips of courtroom conduct where judges were later disciplined for ethical violations.
