Sean Carter, a Harvard-educated lawyer and self-styled legal humorist who will be speaking to the Association of Corporate Counsel Georgia on Dec. 11 — from 11:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Maggiano’s Little Italy in Buckhead — will not be unhappy or surprised if his speech causes a member of the in-house bar to resign.

“I don’t tell the organizers this,” Carter said during a phone interview last week as he traveled in New Jersey, “but one of my goals is that somebody quits after I leave.”
