LAWYER COMPETENCY IN THE AGE OF E-DISCOVERY.

Wednesday, October 8, 2014 | 1-2 p.m. ET | REGISTER NOW

The nature of a lawyer’s duty of competence has been the subject of debate ever since the ABA revised its definition of competency two years ago to require lawyers to understand “the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology.” That debate intensified after the California state bar recently published a draft ethics opinion regarding the impact of e-discovery on a lawyer’s duty of competence. This interactive, one-hour webcast explores these issues.

As an aspiring lawyer, you will leave this session with an enhanced understanding of competency in the age of e-discovery and the steps to take to help clients meet their discovery obligations.

  • How to develop a better understanding of the law regarding the preservation and production of electronically stored information
