The mission of Technology for the Litigator Committee is to focus on technology and how it can help us as litigators. We will showcase new technologies and help our members, and lawyers in general, understand what is available and how it can be used cost-effectively. We will also focus on legal issues affecting, or affected by, technology, including electronic discovery, evidentiary issues and courtroom technique.

Wi-Fi Liability: Legal Risks in Accessing and Operating Wireless Internet
Wi-Fi networks are ubiquitous. When was the last time you accessed one? Perhaps you were waiting on a delayed flight, or maybe sipping a latte at a coffee shop. Wherever you may have been, some networks are secure, but others are left wide open.
