January 22: Don’t Click That! Cybersecurity for Legal Professionals

Law firms have increasingly become a prime target for cyberattacks. And, between fielding hundreds of emails and countless unhinged client phone calls, it is not surprising that overworked lawyers and staff are the weakest links. From phishing emails and ransomware to hacked Wi-Fi, the risks to legal professionals grow every day. Yet many lawyers feel like this is someone else’s problem, or that it will never happen to them (although the data proves otherwise).
In this eye-opening CLE, attorney Jordan Turk will demystify cybersecurity for the modern law practice. You’ll learn how to recognize common threats, implement practical safeguards, and meet your ethical duty of competence, without needing an IT degree.
Key Takeaways:
  • The most common cyber threats targeting law firms (and how hackers actually get in)
  • Step-by-step tips to secure your devices, email, and client files
  • How to create a firm-wide security culture that helps satisfy your ethical obligations

Jordan Turk is a practicing attorney in Texas, and the Director of Attorney Education and Development at Smokeball. Her family law expertise includes complex property division and contentious custody cases, as well as appeals and prenuptial agreements. In addition to her family law practice, she’s passionate about legal technology and how it can revolutionize law firms.
Jordan graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. in Classics, History, and Religious Studies and then went on to attend the University of Arkansas School of Law to earn her J.D. After almost four years of practice with a high-asset family law firm in Houston (and after being frustrated at the lack of automation in her firm), she discovered the world of legal technology which ultimately brought her to Smokeball.
In Hacking Law Firm Success with Jordan Turk, she interviews law firm founders about how they grew and scaled their practices, as well as their ethos behind managing a firm.

January 14: Global Public Health Law: A Transdisciplinary Approach

As traditionally conceived, public health law focuses primarily on what lawyers do—counseling public health agencies and litigating disputes. By contrast, the transdisciplinary model of public health law seeks to connect lawyers, scientists, public health practitioners, and others in a shared effort to
(a) understand and quantify the critical (yet often unseen) role that law plays in shaping population health, and 
(b) develop, advocate for, implement, and evaluate evidence-based legal interventions to prevent disease and reduce injuries. 
This presentation will discuss a forthcoming book Professor Berman is co-authoring that connects this transdisciplinary approach to Global Public Health Law. As the book defines it, Global Public Health Law is the use of the law as a tool to protect and advance population health in jurisdictions around the globe—encompassing everything from local laws to international agreements. Using a wide range of public health topics as examples, the book examines how laws and institutions at the local, national, regional, and international levels intersect and influence one another, and how they ultimately contribute (positively or negatively) to health outcomes.

He is also a Professor of Law at The Ohio State University's Michael E. Moritz College of Law. His research explores the intersection between public health research and legal doctrine, and he is a co-author of The New Public Health Law: A Transdisciplinary Approach to Practice and Advocacy (Oxford University Press, 2nd ed. 2022). His research has been funded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, the National Cancer Institute, the World Health Organization, the American Heart Association, the Ohio Department of Medicaid, and other sources, and he has published extensively in leading public health, medical, and legal journals. In recognition of his outstanding contributions to public health and tobacco control through both research and advocacy, Professor Berman has received the David P. Rall Award for Advocacy in Public Health from the American Public Health Association (2021) and the John Slade Award from the Society for Research on Nicotine & Tobacco (2023).
Prior to joining Ohio State, Berman established and directed policy centers in Ohio and Massachusetts that developed innovative model ordinances and provided policy support to state and local public health programs. He has also served as a senior advisor to the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, as a visiting scholar at the WHO's Center for International Cooperation on Tobacco Control (in Montevideo, Uruguay), and as a member of the NIH’s Council of Public Representatives. Before turning his focus to public health, Berman was a trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division and an associate with the law firm Stinson LLP. He received a JD with distinction from Stanford Law School and a BA with highest honors in Public Policy from Brandeis University.

January 15: AI and Its Place In Legal Practice

This program is presented to raise awareness of a growing ethical issue regarding the use of technology in the practice of law. For many, especially those of us licensed before the significant technology boom that occurred post-2000, the use and misuse of technology has exposed the disconnect between the availability of technology and the necessity of education of the proper use of it in our practices. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the more recent expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in all aspects of the practice of law.
This is not a primer in what AI programs are available, which ones may be better or worse for law offices, or how to use a particular AI product. The purpose is to drive home the necessity of each and every practitioner to become educated in the proper use of technology and the consequences of misusing it, with an emphasis on the proliferation of the use of AI.
The presenter anticipates that the participants in this program will offer their own experiences to illustrate this issue in real time.
