An attorney need not practice in the cyber or technology fields to be affected by changes in those areas. As those changes come more rapidly, some lawyers and firms are experiencing a form of “Future Shock,” a syndrome first described in the 1970s. 

This program will address this shock and how it affects both in the practice of law, and compliance with ethical duties.

Topics to be covered include: 

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Technology and Cyber

The Good: Changes in Technology Improve Lawyers’ Ability to Represent their Clients.

The Bad: Drawing the Work/Life Line when Technology is Ubiquitous. 

The Ugly: Means and Methods of Cyber Attacks Change Quickly, and Law Firms are Prime Targets

Ethics (One hour)

Rule 1.3: Diligence and Promptness—What does “Prompt” Mean today

Rule 1.4: Communications—Can I Email, Text, or Chat? Should I? *Rule 1.6: Confidentiality

Rule 5.1: Responsibilities of Partner/Supervising Lawyer
