Ethics

Something’s Gotta Give in Lawyer Cyber-Ethics

Description:

Stuart Teicher thinks lawyers are at an ethical crossroads when it comes to cybersecurity in the practice. Is it possible that the current rules are inadequate in the modern cyber-environment? Could there be — dare we say — a flaw in the application of the current code??!! Join the guy who calls himself “the CLE Performer” as he explores whether the practice of law is in the midst of a shifting technological-ethical paradigm. Learning objectives include:

  • Understanding how the current ethical standards regarding AI and cybersecurity were created,
  • Learning the applicable rules and cybersecurity concerns that exist in the practice
  • Exploring the changes the rules have gone through over the years
  • Assessing the impact of the challenges from the world of technology and cyber-security today
  • Ethics rules covered include:
    • The duty to protect the client’s “file” from cyber hackers: Rule 1.15
    • The security danger of virtual assistants for lawyers (at work and at home): Confidentiality and Rule 1.6
    • The responsibility to supervise both people and software in our office: Rules 5.1 and 5.3
    • The problem with tech company access to client information: Turnbull v. Microsoft Case
    • And more!
