"I am honored to be speaking to law students and future attorneys on the ethics of advertising in American and Jewish law," says Lance A. Harke. "Advertisers with deceptive motives have the potential to persuade individuals into commercial transactions they might otherwise have avoided, if provided with all of the facts. Consumers have the right to know just what they are purchasing, and given that information visibly on the label."

Harke will lecture in conjunction with Rabbi Dovid Schoen, Dean of the South Florida Center for Jewish Ethics. This lecture is a continued effort of the Center to educate the legal profession in South Florida about Jewish law and ethics in American life.
