In this episode of Remotely Ethical, we discuss the following topics:

Topic 1: I lied on my law school application. Can I still be a lawyer?

Nicole and Tyler discuss whether inaccurate information on a law school application might impede a law school graduate's subsequent admission to the bar.

This topic was inspired by a New York Times article that discussed Tara Reade’s undergraduate and law school education, which you can read here.

Important disclaimer: We have no knowledge or opinion about whether Ms. Reade's statements about her undergraduate education are accurate.

Topic 2: The Ethics of Civil Disobedience

In this segment, we discuss whether lawyers are ethically permitted to engage in civil disobedience or counsel clients about doing so.

For more on this topic, check out Tyler’s blog post: Confronting the Ethics of Civil Disobedience.

Case Notes From Captivity

Tyler’s Case Notes: Tyler is catching up on Season 3 of Better Call Saul and is more troubled by Kim’s ethical behavior than by Jimmy’s (i.e. Saul).

If you want to read some of Nicole’s old blog posts about the Ethics of Better Call Saul (Season 1), you can find them here.

Nicole’s Case Notes: Nicole was amused and entertained by a YouTube video entitled “Building the Perfect Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder.” You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll develop a deeper respect for the ingenuity of squirrels.
