A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of the September 2017 live seminar, Attorneys and Technology: Surviving the Legal Ethics Jungle.
Topics covered include:
Emerging ethical challenges from nationally known speaker Jack Marshall
- Explore how technology has changed the practice of law, and your ethical duties as a result
- Learn steps even the most tech-addled lawyers can and should take to protect clients and themselves
- Fulfill this year’s ethics requirement, and half of next year’s, in one insightful and entertaining seminar
With the proliferation of technological advances comes a proliferation of ethical challenges associated with using those technologies. You needn’t know how technology works to use it, but if you use it in your practice you must use it in a manner consistent with our ethical guidance—guidance that is almost always years behind the times, and often confusing or contradictory. How do you get out of the ethical jungle technology has created?
Using hypothetical-based problems and an interactive, entertaining format, the seminar covers a wide range of areas in a stimulating and engaging, if occasionally terrifying, manner, including:
- Expectation of privacy: does it still exist?
- The duty to protect clients from themselves
- Confidentiality threats
- Keeping current on technology, why it’s unethical not to, and why it’s still almost impossible to do so
- Discovery and document storage
- How the Rules of Professional Conduct apply to uses of technology, and where the rules provide insufficient guidance, or are behind the curve
- How to keep pace with the increasing number of Legal Ethics Opinions that deal with lawyers’ use of technology
