Registration Information
Most lawyers have become so comfortable with computers that they sometimes forget to consider the risks involved, both for them and their clients. These risks range from the everyday hassles of e-mail spam to the much more serious ethical dangers of betraying client confidentiality or a client’s improper retention of documents. If you are not aware of the potential hazards inherent in the use of computers to your clients and practice, you should attend this program.
This program will give you a fresh look at how you are using your computer. From the basic issues of protecting data and your computer to the more advanced issues of controlling digital data, you will learn from the perspectives of academics, who teach intellectual property and professional responsibility, and a litigation partner.
This program will benefit solo and small firm practitioners who don’t have IT staff to advise them. It will also help lawyers in big firms to identify issues about which IT staff might not be aware. Don’t take the chance of relying on your computer consultants to know about the possible violations of the rules of professional conduct. Learn how to minimize the risks and about the reasonable actions you can take to avoid violating the rules.
Attend and Learn:
- How to protect your computer and your digital data
- What happens to deleted email
- When you can be sanctioned for failing to produce electronic discovery
- What metadata is and how it can get you into trouble
- The effects of inadvertently disclosing privileged electronic information
