Ethical Issues in the Roger Clemens Investigation Posted: March 5th, 2008 By: Zach Heller Category:
The Roger Clemens steroid issue is one that is on the minds of people all over the country. The only thing that is getting more coverage in the media these days are the primaries, so both baseball fans and non-fans alike are constantly bombarded with the latest information regarding his investigation. One side that you rarely see is that of Clemens lawyers. What are they going through? What are their responsibilities to Roger Clemens? What are their responsibilities to the law?
Recently, we filmed a new CLE course based on the Clemens investigation entitled, “Ethical Issues with Roger Clemens and other High Profile Clients.” The course covers what the lawyers can and should do when presented with a client who wants to fight a very public, career damaging charge. Speakers Joel Cohen, Gerald Shargel, Carol Zeigler, and Ivan Fisher cover the entire spectrum of the Roger Clemens matter in order to further explain the professional responsibilities of the criminal defense attorneys.
Below, please find a short clip from the presentation. Watch for the course, “Ethical Issues with Roger Clemens and other High Profile Clients”, which is coming soon to the Lawline.com course catalog.
