After reading Harper Lee’s second novel Go Set a Watchman immediately after its release on July 14, 2015, and knowing the history about the relationship between Atticus Finch and the author’s father Amasa Lee, Talmage closely followed the controversy that arose over Watchman’s portrayal of Atticus Finch as a bigot. Now, with his new legal ethics speech, Talmage explains the whole story, looks at all the facts, and explains why Atticus Finch should still stand at the top of the mountain as the legal profession’s greatest role model and why he provides new and important wisdom on the need for all professionals to act with emotional intelligence when disagreements and confrontations arise in the practice of law.
