Professor Nancy Rapoport, former Dean at the University of Houston and currently a professor at the William S. Boyd School of Law, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, moderates an interactive CLE program assisted by an entertaining and knowledgeable panel of Austin judges-- Judge Gisela Triana-Doyal, Judge Robert Pitman, and Judge Elisabeth Earle. Using clips from the silver screen, this seminar provides a lively discussion of various ethical dilemmas and the ways in which they arise in the real-life courtroom.
