NJSBA Diversity Committee presents the “Diverse Voices” Speakers Series
Co-Sponsored by the NJSBA Diversity Committee, the New Jersey State Bar Foundation and NJICLE

John Quiñones, the host and creator of the highly-rated ABC show, What Would You Do?, 20/20 Anchor, and esteemed journalist has held up a mirror to American ethical behavior for almost a decade. |
Part 1: Ethics in America - A View from the Front Lines
When we witness something disturbing, (someone being discriminated against because of the color of their skin or, the accent in their voice, a child is being bullied by his classmates, an employer refuses to hire someone because of their gender), do we speak out on their behalf, or do we remain silent? With hidden cameras, John has staged almost 500 different scenarios. The results can be heart-breaking but, in virtually every scenario, there is an everyday hero who steps in and restores our faith in humanity. Do men come to the rescue as often as women? How have our morals changed in the years since John began shining his light on ethics in America? His findings are fascinating.
Part 2: New Jersey Legal Ethics
John Quiñones will “turn the tables” on some esteemed members of the legal community as he presents them with scenarios and pointedly asks “What would you do?” Register today to see how a panel featuring some of New Jersey’s most respected judges and attorneys respond!
Meet Mr. Quiñones!
