Starting with electronic word processors and continuing through today’s augmented and artificial intelligence applications, the practice of law has changed materially. So too have the ethical duties and responsibilities of lawyers in dealing with technology. Lawyers now are being asked novel questions related to technology by our clients, business units and our firm and corporate colleagues. And the requirements and risks in giving such advice are novel, too. Overhanging all of this are emerging ethical responsibilities and strictures that require lawyers to become competent to act and advise with respect to technology, cyber security and privacy.

This course will examine these ethical responsibilities that are being reflected by the American Bar Association and by the bars of the leading states, and will provide guidance as to how lawyers can keep up with fast-moving developments in legal technology and deal with its practical and ethical implications.
