Legal professionals have a duty to provide competent representation to their clients. In the past, that meant an attorney was competent based on their experience and knowledge of the law. Today, however, the concept of competence has evolved to include a duty of technological competence. Attorneys today use a wide variety of technology – from email, to Word to Artificial Intelligence tools.
This session will address the ethical obligations that arise from the use of technology in the practice of law. This seminar will focus on assisting lawyers in identifying and avoiding risks related to technology, many of which they may not be aware. The presentation will also provide suggested tips and best practices. Areas of discussion include:
- Email.
- Word.
- Redaction.
- Cybersecurity.
- Artificial Intelligence.
- Social Media.
- Legal Research.
