Film and the Law: "Crimson Tide" Decision-Making 

Challenges and Problems with Pushing the Ethical Envelope

Monday, June 24, 2024 - Webinar only

After a Russian rebellion threatens nuclear war with the United States, a US nuclear missile sub is depolyed. But a partially received message pits the old school Captain, , against his young Executive Officer. Should they launch the missiles before confirming the message? What results is a tale of suspense where neither party is in the wrong. The lessons go far beyond issues of nuclear war, to the more important issues of attorney ethics (well…more important to lawyers, right?).  Join the CLE Performer, Stuart Teicher, as he shows how a showdown between Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman and the plot of the movie Crimson Tide teach lawyers about important lessons of professional responsibility.
