Avoiding Malpractice: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Legal Technology
Legal technology is a double-edged sword in that it can cause malpractice or it can guard against it. Learn how to avoid common mistakes while using technology to your advantage by building malpractice avoidance procedures into your workflow. There is no prerequisite level of technical acumen necessary to understand these concepts, and almost all of them will improve your office's overall efficiency and level of client service. Most of the top causes for malpractice and grievance issues are related to organization, communication and law office management. As such, they are largely preventable.
