  ROIPHE

  Justice is served…with a tv dinner. Task: Find an example of lawyers behaving badly in any TV show (The Good Wife, Law and Order, Boston Legal, The Practice reruns, etc.).  Extra credit if you find that the writers of the show made a mistake (e.g., they represented that something was ethical when it is not or vice versa). Give Professor Roiphe a verbal rerun of the episode to collect your card. Resources: The Good Wife Boston Legal Law & Order: Criminal Intent The Practice

  CHAMBLISS

  Law-yers’ Poker… always bluffing. Task: Create a poker hand consisting of five (or seven) news stories about lawyers getting in trouble (as lawyers). (Reputable sources only; The New York Post counts for this purpose, The News of the World does not.) Present your hand to Professor Chambliss to collect your card. The hitch: you can’t use a story that someone else has already used. Resources: Poker Hand Guide
