Gain an understanding of how to ethically handle digital documents while maintaining confidentiality of client information.
Lawyers have always needed to organize enormous amounts of information and documents - those we receive from clients, from opposing parties, from co-counsel and collaborators, and our own documentation. We are obligated to preserve many of those kinds of information, securely, for a long or even indefinite period of time. But a client file is no longer just a folder stuffed full of documents. It contains multitudes of information generated by, and able to be stored in many different platforms. In this presentation, we’ll look from several angles at how lawyers can ethically cope with the challenges of modern document handling. We’ll discuss what the Model Rules of Professional Conduct require, and how cutting-edge technology can help lawyers not just comply, but thrive.
