Press Release Summary = Author, syndicated columnist and speaker Sean Carter uses
comedy to educate lawyers. Members of bar associations, law firms and corporate
legal departments across the country enjoy Carter\'s unique \"comedic legal education\"
courses, which enable them to satisfy bar licensing requirements in an enjoyable
manner. Mr. Carter's clients find that humor does not detract from, but actually
enhances, the learning process.

Press Release Body = Mesa, Arizona March 1, 2006-Although forty states currently
require licensed attorneys to attend continuing legal education classes, many
lawyers dread attending the courses. Increasingly, however, bar associations and
law firms are challenging this view by turning to outside providers like "Humorist
at Law" Sean Carter to add a spark of "lawghter" to their CLE events.

Last summer, for example, the Utah State Bar kicked off its annual meeting with one
of Carter's ethics presentations. "Our audience was enthralled by the humor,"
recounted Connie Howard, Utah State Bar CLE and Member Benefits Administrator.
"This presentation drew more favorable comments from our members than any other
presentation we have given in the last four years."

Despite its popularity with audiences, the idea was slow to catch on with CLE
organizers. "In the beginning, I suspect people felt that humor would detract from
the educational component of the programs," says Carter. But Bill Corbett,
Executive Director of the Louisiana Association of Defense Counsel, suggests that
humor actually enhances the learning process: "Carter's review of the Supreme Court
term was one of the most entertaining, and yet informative, CLE presentations I have
heard."

Eleanor Southers, Co-Chair of the California State Bar Solo and Small Firm Section's
Education Committee, agrees. The section has retained Carter for its last two
annual CLE events. "Carter's programs make bias, ethics and similar heavyweight
issues entertaining," said Southers.

With the roar of laughter ringing in their ears, more CLE organizers are starting to
come around: Carter will conduct more than one hundred "comedic legal education"
seminars this year alone. "I receive two to three new inquiries each day, from
everywhere from Bozeman, Montana to New York City. My goal is to get to all fifty
states by 2007." Carter is scheduled to conduct seminars in twenty-four states in
the coming months.

Carter also presents his unique seminars to law firms and in-house corporate legal
departments. His clients include mega-firms such as Akin Gump, Heller Ehrman and
Fisher & Phillips, as well as the in-house legal departments of corporations such as
Xerox, AOL and Taco Bell. "Carter had audiences laughing hysterically at two of our
national client conferences. His original sense of humor adds a terrific dimension
to an otherwise serious legal program," explained James J. McDonald, Jr., a partner
at Fisher & Phillips LLP.

Is comedic legal education the wave of the future or just a passing fad? Only time
will tell. Yet, for the foreseeable future, lawghter seems to be the best medicine
for CLE boredom.
