Description

What are the biases which affect clients, judges and juries? Is it ethical for a lawyer to combat a client's bias with deception, or by playing on another bias? Is it ethical for a lawyer to take advantage of bias in a courtroom or negotiation situation? (Rushed at the end with the application portions, unfortunately.)
