It’s no secret that technology has encroached upon the legal realm and how lawyers do business. But did you know that keeping up with new technology has become an ethical issue? Attorneys are ethically obligated to competently represent their clients, and “keeping up” with technology is an integral part of that duty. In this interactive discussion, our panelists will discuss: client communications and technology; competent representation & technology; ethical issues raised in negotiating search protocols; information security – including a discussion on cloud-computing; how to learn the technology basics; social media and ethics; and new technology – what’s on the horizon and how will it impact your ethical obligations.
