John T. Rogers, Jr. is the owner of Rogers Trust Law in Los Angeles, California.
Program Description
We depend on modern tools in our practices while often taking them for granted. But the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct now tell us we are supposed to “keep abreast of changes in the law and its practice, including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology.” How can we keep up - and avoid potential ethical breaches and malpractice claims - as these technological advances affect our delivery of services and our communications with clients, colleagues, and the public? This non-technical presentation will illustrate how the T & E lawyer (whether a planner or litigator or both) may navigate through the increasingly complex ethical minefields created by these developments.
