The Ethical Implications Involving Lawyers and Technology - March 22, 2016

The ethical implications of requiring lawyers to be conversant with technology  from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of the FRCP Amendments 

Sponsored by AccessData

For the first time, the FRCP imposes an ethical responsibility on lawyers to be conversant with technology the use in e-discovery. 

The key driver of this requirement could be viewed as the increased prominence of early case assessment (ECA). Like it or not, in-house counsel and property and casualty carriers are sold on the benefits of ECA: Cost reduction, risk management, and smarter litigation strategy. Are you prepared?

The FRCP Amendments are in effect and compliance is not optional. Learn from experts in the field who deal with these issues every day:

- how the amendments are new and different from past practice
- the good news (hint: proportionality)
- the bad news (hint: acceleration and streamlining)
- and most importantly, how to use the new provisions as a sword and as a shield.
