Event Description
Deadline to Register: January
9
Have you ever had a client tell you they think their cell
phone is bugged? Or had a client who feels like their partner always knows where
they are? While technology is helpful and at times a lifeline for many domestic
and sexual violence victims, sometimes it can be used against victims and
endanger their lives.
Practical information for attorneys on technology use and
misuse is difficult to find. Therefore, the Domestic Abuse Committee of the
Family Law Section of the Minnesota State Bar Association is offering this
session addressing old and new technology and the ways that it can help and harm
domestic and sexual violence victims. Topics will include specific suggestions
for attorneys, new hardware and software applications, and ideas to help protect
domestic and sexual violence victims.
