A “Pop-Up”  FREE to Watch Virtual Professionalism CLE Video Production

February 27, 2025, 12:15 pm – 1:30 pm

During this video CLE, viewers will discover how one attorney’s personal life history and legal practice exemplify some of the professionalism aspirations set forth in A Lawyer’s Creed and the Aspirational Statement on Professionalism. Throughout the video, references to A Lawyer’s Creed and the Aspirational Statement on Professionalism are shown to provide context to the aspirational tenets, using the experiences that Mr. Sampson reports during his oral history as examples. The oral history was obtained by the Georgia Legal History Foundation and the professionalism CLE video was produced in partnership with the Chief Justice’s Commission on Professionalism.

This video is presented as a FREE Virtual via Zoom CLE.  Attorneys are responsible for paying the CLE fees required by the Commission on Continuing Lawyer Competency to maintain the CLE on their CLE transcript. The CLE has been approved in Georgia for 1 hour of professionalism CLE credit.
