Learning Ethics can be Easy!This following page shows an example of biography material normally provided to seminar course organizers when Bucklin is the instructor. Before any seminar, a short one page handout will also be provided as a customizable short page that you may choose to distribute as part of your publicity to build interest in attendance at the seminar you are organizing. Normally, it is suggested that you send it by email to everyone attending, a week before they attend. The following is designed as newspaper articles are designed. That is, you can chop paragraphs off the end of the article to meet your space requirements, and still have the thesis and major facts of the article presented. We will furnish you with interest-building bios regarding whichever of our instructors is coming to your location. Our talent bank examples page has links that lead to sample additional biographies. Our instructors are all PhD and JD level educators. We can also furnish the usual accreditation credentials pages applicable if you are applying for continuing education credit for the course. Here is an example of a seminar bio on Bucklin. Seminar Presenter - Leonard BucklinThis is a trial lawyer whose experience involves million dollar verdicts. He is serious about ethics, but serious does not mean dull. Bucklin uses current events as he illustrates ethics that matter to what you are doing, or asks you questions that you want to answer. Bucklin's seminar teaching methods are founded in his experience in explaining complicated subjects to juries or to diverse groups in a short time limit. The result is fast paced, interesting instruction.
Leonard Bucklin is a recognized trial attorney who has turned the focus of his attention to legal and corporate ethics. He is a Fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, a group identifying the top 500 trial lawyers in the United States. In short, if he can get a jury verdict by explaining the ethics that went into a defective product, or defend an insurance company successfully by explaining the good faith efforts of chief executives, or explain (as he did in Hunt v. Mobil) how the pattern of a thousand mineral leases shows no stolen confidential information was used by his client --- he can get your attention, and keep it, while he explains ethics concepts and gives us the tools for our future decisions. This will be interesting and informative, a great combination.
Bucklin is an accomplished education seminar speaker who delivers his message with enthusiasm in an enthusiastic manner. His enthusiasm is that he wants you to have "great excitement for or interest" in what ethics does for your corporate responsibility. He is enthusiastic about responding to the needs of each unique company he assists, to your actual needs at your daily work, and that enthusiasm shows when he stands up to teach!
His stories of how companies have dealt --- either successfully or unsuccessfully --- with the ethics of the workplace in terms of the company products and services, are compelling. His stock of personal experiences involve incidents ranging from gas and oil explosions, to labor disputes, to hazardous waste disposal, to government prosecutions. Bucklin is knowledgeable. He is the editor of an ethics eZine for a section of the American Bar Association. He is the author of a number of publications and has a practical work background valuable in understanding and communicating the problems of business. His legal practice for 40 years has been balanced between commercial and personal work, office practice and litigation, and plaintiff and defense work. Bucklin has been involved with the crisis of personal injury caused by defective products or unsafe practices caused in turn by a defective ethics culture in the companies involved. So he talks of ethics cultures, real ethics, not hypothetical work ethics, as he helps you to learn:
Bucklin has served on various workgroups and committees of organizations and corporations. The longest service was twelve years on the Joint Procedures Advisory Committee to the North Dakota Supreme Court. The most unusual has been his many years of service on the Ethics Committee of the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). UNOS is the corporation that runs, as a federal contractor, the 50 state network for allocation and distribution of human organs, and in addition sets and monitors hospital and medical regulations and policies and standards for transplantation in every one of the medical centers across the country. Ethics, law, medicine, and public opinion are all involved in the UNOS contracted responsibilities, which have to resolve a multitude of factors and competing interests involved in providing about 25,000 organ transplants every year to the 85,000 persons awaiting life-saving organs every day. Getting it done safely is one thing. Getting organ transplants done ethically and right, in multiple locations, 25,000 times a year is a big program. The ethical problems are sensitive, often complicated, and frequently newsworthy. So, if you are coming to his seminar, sit down, sit up, and enjoy some time that will improve your life!
