COURSE DETAILS
“Kohan’s nuanced inquiry highlights trash talk’s surprisingly diverse applications, and he’s never less than entertaining… This is a blast” — Publishers Weekly
Join NYCLA’s Law and Literature Committee as it welcomes author Rafi Kohan to discuss the history of trash talk and the impact that it has on one’s rivals — whether on the playing field, in the courtroom or the court of public opinion.
After discussing his work, we will have a panel discussion of how trash talk has recently been impacting the legal profession, which has a history of civility and a code of professional conduct. Have the recent comments and conduct by Donald Trump introduced trash talk to litigation? Can such conduct be curtailed? Do litigators, judges and court personnel have the tools to fight back? And what is the future impact on the practice of law and client behavior?
This is one program that you will not want to miss!!
