Technology and the Legal Practitioner: Ethical Concerns & Best Practices is an ethics-focused CLE that examines how evolving technology reshapes the duty of competence for modern lawyers. Historically, competence centered on legal knowledge and experience; today, it also requires technological proficiency with tools that permeate everyday practice.
Attorneys now rely on email, word processing, cloud platforms, litigation technology, and rapidly developing artificial intelligence tools. This program explores how those technologies intersect with professional responsibility rules and what it means to use them ethically in client representation.
Key topics include:
- The evolution of the duty of competence to include technological competence.
- Ethical obligations when using common tools such as email, document software, and cloud services.
- Risks and responsibilities associated with artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies.
- Confidentiality, data security, and safeguarding client information in a digital environment.
- Practical best practices for integrating technology into law practice while meeting ethics requirements.
