Many of the recent changes to
the Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct directly address a lawyer’s use and
understanding of legal technology – especially as it applies to a lawyer’s
competence to practice law. Find out what duties are imposed on Minnesota
lawyers concerning their understanding of technology, and how your current
office systems may or may not comply with ethical rules. The program will
examine the new basic level technology competence for lawyers, a lawyer’s duties
and obligations when working with cloud technology, website disclaimers, raising
the bar for email security, and much more.
This CLE will be available
online until December 29, 2017.
