Communicating through the internet with clients, potential clients and opposing counsel has become standard for attorneys. But along with this communication advancement have come some potential ethical mine fields which attorneys must consciously navigate. This seminar will point out some of the ethical concerns associated with inadvertent release of metadata and privileged material through the use of e-mail, blogs and websites. The seminar will also look at some of the ethical issues raised by electronic “advertising” and highlight the pending rule proposals in New York aimed at computer accessed information.
In addition, there will be a discussion of potential ethical concerns which arise during discovery in the production of electronic materials. The seminar will provide a forum for community dialogue on best practices for attorneys in dealing with the production of electronic documents.
Each of the speakers will not only highlight the ethical concerns, but provide practical tips to guide you in avoiding the following potential issues:
1. Inadvertent Disclosure of Privileged Material Through Electronic Metadata
2. Ethical Issues and Lawyer Blogs
3. Ethical Issues Associated with Electronic Discovery
4. Ethical Issues in the Use of Law Firm Websites, Advertising and other risks in the use of technology.
This seminar will fulfill your ethics credit requirements for the year!
