Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) are a technology for gathering, managing, analyzing, integrating, mapping
and displaying spatial data. GIS technology affords the ability to layer data
from a variety of sources into a cohesive whole to enhance understanding of
patterns and relationships of real-world phenomena on the landscape. This
presentation will provide background and context on GIS technology, its
benefits, uses and limitations when applied to the legal realm and will outline
several cases where this technology has been deployed.
This CLE is approved for credit through
