CLE by the Sea Ethics

Ethics Track
Challenges of Technology in 21st Century Law Practice
Wednesday, July 17, 2013, 1:30 to 4:45 p.m.
Advances in technology enable lawyers in all practice settings to work more efficiently and effectively.

How do we change with the times and yet maintain the tenets of our profession, such as confidentiality and professionalism?

  • Client confidentiality when little seems confidential these days
  • Think twice about tweeting that verdict
  • Advertising ethically in cyberspace
  • Does a lawyer have a right to blog?
  • Why law firms need social media and bring-your-own-device policies
  • Supervising law-firm employees in the digital age
  • Did you Google that job applicant?
  • Just take it off: Spoliation and the incriminating Facebook photo
  • Mining for metadata
  • E-discovery challenges
  • Cloud computing and online data storage
  • File implications of going paperless
  • Listserv laissez-faire
  • Must lawyers be computer nerds to be competent?
