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.

Common sense solutions will also be provided.
The second session, “The Top 10 Ethical Issues Facing Wisconsin Lawyers,” will be presented by State Bar Ethics Counsel Timothy J. Pierce.
Ever wonder if your ethical concerns about file retention, advertising, and confidentiality are the same as your colleagues? Find out what ethics questions are most frequently asked by State Bar members and get the answers you need to comply with your professional ethical obligations.
