My favorite part of the 30 hours I waste every two years on CLE is finding and taking the class that discusses the cases I’ve won in the last eleven years. Today’s air flight presents that occasion to listen to a downloaded lecture.
And, score, the lecturer remembered to put the words “Ethical Duties” in the title, so I get professional responsibility credit.
Wonder if he’ll mention that no class counsel has ever faced disciplinary consequences for unquestionably unethical Rule 23(e) behavior.

Wow, courts must find class settlements to be fair, reasonable, and adequate. #CLE #education
Weird slide: Class settlements received additional scrutiny after SCOTUS decision in Walmart v Dukes (2011)… which is temporally coincidentally true, but a bit of a non sequitur. I can think of something else that happened in 2009 that was more important.

Bluetooth slide! I pause, close my eyes, and quiz myself: 654 F.3d 935 (9th Cir 2011). Correct! This one weird memory trick and $5.95 gets me a Chick-fil-A sandwich combo.
Lecturer doesn’t mention reversion provision.

Second case is Kobe.
Third goes back to one of my cases: Subway! I don’t remember the cite this time.
Lecturer doesn’t correctly describe case facts or holding. Really, someone should invite me to one of these so we can reprise the McLuhan in ANNIE HALL scene.

Cy pres and Frank v. Gaos and conflicts of interest. Lecturer misstates what Ninth Circuit said, doesn’t get into any real discussion.

Today’s CLE is basically an hour of “Wear pants in Zoom hearings in case you stand up” and I’m getting ethics credit for it. 🤷♂️
TFW today’s CLE instructor, discussing pleadings, describes a syllogism and calls it “algebra.”
