It's far easier to learn from the mistakes of others than to suffer through them ourselves. This is particularly true for malpractice, where mistakes can be devastating. Come and learn the most common causes of malpractice from actual claims statistics. Your use of technology can itself give rise to legal malpractice! This session covers both how malpractice mistakes arise in practice and steps you can take to avoid them. In most jurisdictions, you’ll earn ethics CLE credits as well.

Technology provides great benefits for attorneys, including highly efficient workflow, unprecedented access to information, and rapid, cost-effective communications. Most lawyers, however, do not consider the dark side of technology. It can and does generate great risks to lawyers from the interaction of technology and professional responsibility requirements. This session will encourage you to pause for a moment and identify these risks before launching into the latest and greatest technology. You’ll also learn how to take steps to address them. In most jurisdictions, this course is eligible for ethics CLE credits.
