Confronting Displacement Technology in the Legal Profession

Event Description

Join the MSBA Assembly at its September meeting for this timely CLE:

Program Description
Legal technology and court priorities have changed, sometimes displacing the traditional attorney-client practice model. New apps, legal web sites, and self-help services have given rise to new market forces, empowered consumers, and disrupted the way lawyers have traditionally done business. National legal futures expert and veteran criminal and civil trial lawyer Fred Ury will explain what displacement technology is being used today, how it has affected the practice, and the need for all lawyers to adapt. A panel from Minnesota will also describe displacement innovations with Minnesota connections.
