Ethics, the Press, and Your Practice - June 8, 2022

Ethics, the Press and your Practice: Getting out there without getting into trouble

Sponsored by Bloomberg

Getting press coverage can give your practice an edge in today’s competitive market — but engaging with the press can be risky.

For attorneys looking to elevate their profile and influence public opinion on a specific matter or case, partnering with the press can provide real benefits. However, as seasoned practitioners and communications industry experts know, there are very specific rules of engagement for attorneys who speak to the press and failing to follow them can cause damage to the attorney, client, and ultimately the case. Even inadvertent mistakes can leave an attorney open to risks from ethics violations to defamation.

Expert panelists discuss:

•    ABA Model Rules of Conduct

•    Answering press inquiries

•    Pitfalls to avoid

Evidentiary Issues with Emojis - June 15, 2022

Discovery and Evidentiary Issues with Emojis

Sponsored by Innovative Driven

Emojis are an important aspect of everyday communication in 2022. Given their ubiquity, there should be little surprise that emojis have become a source of admissible evidence in civil and criminal cases and provide context and clarity on disputed issues. While they certainly won’t be critical in every action, counsel should be aware of key discovery and evidentiary issues that may affect the admissibility of emojis. In this program, a panel of experts will examine these issues and discuss recommended practices for handling them during discovery, in motion practice, and at trial.

Topics of discussion include the following:

•    Determine how to understand and interpret the meaning of different emojis.

•    Identify the technological features that impact the use of emojis as evidence.

•    Learn discovery and collection strategies for addressing technological issues affecting the of emojis as evidence.
