'Counselor, You're Muted:' Maintaining Professionalism and Ethics in a Post-COVID Practice

Description:

While day-to-day practice for lawyers may have changed in the post-COVID landscape, our ethical and professional obligations to clients, opposing counsel, and the state bar have generally remained the same. Understanding how those past obligations are being molded in the current remote-based environment requires a review of our ethical obligations on the maintenance of confidentiality of client's sensitive information, particularly electronically stored information (ESI) and the standard of professionalism in a remote-based environment.

This was a very informative class. I really enjoyed the outline of our obligations regarding electronic security and ways to protect our processes against weaknesses. This was really great.

Solid guidance and info - especially for those unaccustomed to the work-from-home model. Was especially intrigued by the subject of living in a state different from where you practice - hadn't considered some of those pitfalls.

This presentation far exceeded my expectations. The presenters were extremely knowledgeable and articulate. Materials were clear and helpful. One of the best TBA CLEs I have attended.

Good presentation on avoiding pitfalls under current practice parameters.

Nice to hear judge's comments about practitioners on video conferences who may have been not so careful about their background or appearances on camera.

This course was very interesting. I have not had to use all the technology yet, but hopefully this will help when I do.

This was one of the better CLEs that I've taken at TBA. Timely, good context and excellent presentation. Well done.
