Cloud Computing for Lawyers: Pros, Cons and Ethical Issues (Plus, the Best of What's Out There) - DVD Homestudy
 
You no longer have to purchase software and servers for your office. Today, you can rent software and server access via the Internet thereby avoiding the traditional up-front cost. This process is often referred to as "moving to the cloud." Of course, your client data would also be stored on the rented or hosted servers. In this seminar, we'll explain the associated pros, cons and risks of doing this with your practice. You'll also learn how the Rules of Professional Conduct factor in and the criteria you must satisfy before you can ethically store client data on servers only accessible via the Internet. It is definitely possible for lawyers to get off the treadmill of buying new hardware/software, using it until obsolescence, then buying new hardware/software again. This seminar will explain how to get there. Finally, you'll learn about the best web-based, legal-specific cloud services including case management, accounting, document assembly, document management, transcription, digital signature services, credit card processing for lawyers, secure file sharing and many more.
