Sept. 1, 2010 – The State Bar Practice411™ Breakfast & Business: Eggs, Ethics and Answers series kicks off its annual statewide trek on Oct. 6 at the Stone Harbor Resort in Sturgeon Bay. The half-day seminars assist lawyers in improving their efficiency in the delivery of legal services and in implementing systems and controls to reduce risk and improve client relations. Topics are related to technology and ethics, and all seminars are submitted for CLE and EPR credits. New this year, in response to member feedback, Breakfast & Business seminars will be submitted for up to 3 EPR credit hours so attendees can satisfy their EPR requirements at one time. All seminars, presented in two sessions, begin with a hot breakfast at 8:15 a.m. and conclude at 12 p.m.
The first session, “Ethics and Technology in the Law Firm,” will be presented by State Bar Law Office Management Advisor Nerino Petro.
As computer technology becomes more entrenched within the legal profession, lawyers must be aware of the potential pitfalls that can arise based on our ethical obligations. Safekeeping data and your documents, protecting against inadvertent disclosures of confidential information in electronic communications, and guarding against digital disasters are just some of the good practice management techniques you will learn about in this session which will include actual demonstrations and common sense solutions.
The second session, “Protect Yourself from Email Malpractice,” will be presented by Bruce Olson.
Properly managing your email accounts and software will provide the protection you need to safely and securely communicate with clients. Learn the most common mistakes attorneys make when using email and simple ways to safeguard yourself and your practice from email disasters.
