Program Description

60+ Time-Saving & Practice Enhancing Tech Tips, Gadgets and Web Resources in 90 Minutes

In these unusual and, frankly, frightening economic times, lawyers everywhere need to squeeze the most out of every overhead dollar, while at the same time maximizing the quality of client services and responsiveness.

Diametrically opposed goals? Not at all!

We'll explore a plethora of free or inexpensive software products, tips, techniques and web resources for propelling your practice forward while better serving every one of your clients. Learn about free anti-virus products, free webinar and conference calling services, free and cheap Word and Outlook tools and much more! Save a bundle, learn a bunch!

How NOT to Commit Malpractice with Your Computer

Computers have made it possible to commit malpractice virtually at the speed of light. Technology "enhanced" errors and omissions are magnified and, potentially, client confidences are at risk-and worse.

This session explores the pitfalls and traps that the unwary practitioner can fall into using the latest technology tools. We cover it all: e-mail security, client confidentiality issues, internet use/abuse policies, protecting irreplaceable client information from hardware and software catastrophes, as well as from hacker intrusion and damage from computer viruses.

Special emphasis on metadata issues and the ethical issues on this complex subject affecting Colorado lawyers. This techno-ethics program is a must for every lawyer today!
