Free CLE Credit Thursday at Virtual LegalTech

Check out ALM’s Virtual LegalTech Thursday (Sept. 26) for a full day’s worth of continuing legal education options, from 10 a.m. to almost 6 p.m. I am honored to open the show with a 10-minute overview of current trends to set the proverbial stage for the day’s agenda.

Ethics: Right at the top of the lineup is a chance to get an hour’s worth of those precious ethics credits, required in numerous states including California. Peter Vogel, a frequent contributor to Law Technology News, will not just provide those necessary credits, but help you understand some very timely and relevant issues about the use of social media, smart phones, and tablets — and the ramifications of cloud computing and the internet. Vogel, a partner at Gardere Wynne Sewell and an adjunct law professor at Southern Methodist University’s Dedman School of Law in Dallas, will tackle some of the thorny issues that arise, including jury selection, judicial rules, attorney client privilege, and the challenges faced by litigators trying to collect electronically stored information from third party web-based services.
