Mid-Winter CLE 2022 Package 1

Courses Included

• 2021 Ethics Homeshow Day 1: Ethics Peril!
  
  

  Experience TBA CLE's popular Ethics tradition with Brian Faughnan of Lewis Thomason. 

  Our presenter said that he hoped last year’s Ethics Homeshow would be the first and only, but, alas, we’re still not out of the woods.  So … we Zoom again.  However, no one (especially Brian) wants to stare at Brian’s mug on a screen for 3 hours so we’re mixing things up even more. 

  For 2021, we will be playing a little game we are calling “Ethics Peril!”  For those familiar with the format, this will mean that lurking and available for discussion over the two sessions will be 6 categories of content divided up into 5 options, resulting in 30 unique topics of ethical discussion.

  Unfortunately, as with another answer and question competition bearing a synonymous title, the 2021 Ethics Homeshow: Ethics Peril! also will not be hosted by LeVar Burton.

  Don’t jeopardize your chance to be in on all of the fun and register for Ethics Peril! today.

You have an ethical and legal obligation to secure your data; and good security need not be expensive or complex. This webinar walks you through computer security pitfalls and how to avoid them on your computer and mobile devices. Turn your Fort Nuts into Fort Knox.

• Working From Home Safely: Cybersecurity & Ethical Considerations
  
  

  Having been forced to work from home with relatively no advanced warning has opened up a BIG can of cybersecurity worms! Many lawyers and staff are using home PCs and saving client documents/data on those computers. In this webinar, we will discuss the ethical and malpractice pitfalls of working remotely and how to address them. We will discuss the need for full disk encryption, email encryption, home wireless router security, Windows updates, Antivirus/Malware, cloud options and how to tighten up security when using Dropbox, Box, One-Drive or Google Drive. While this all may sound overwhelming, there are many things that you can do right away that are free, or next to free, that will make a big impact!

• How Mindfulness Can Help You Avoid Legal Burnout, Continue to Competently Perform Legal Services, and Remain Ethically Compliant
  
  

  As attorneys, constant stress is often a part of the job. If we don’t effectively manage chronic stress, however, it has the potential to cripple our productivity levels and make it physically, mentally, and emotionally impossible to effectively advocate for our clients and ourselves. Further, we run the risk of running afoul of the rules of professional conduct.

  Instituting even one or two minutes of meditation and mindfulness into our daily routines can have immediate and far-reaching benefits in our professional and personal lives. Become your best self now. Join us as we demystify meditation and focus on the basics of mindfulness: what it is and isn’t, how to do it, and how to maximize its benefits. We will delve into specific methods of integrating mindfulness into your day-to-day law practice.

  This 60-min CLE session will empower you to:
  • Protect yourself from burnout
  • Improve focus and boost your overall productivity and efficiency
  • Curb anxiety and stress thru quick, effective “spot treatments”
  • Use mindfulness to enhance ethical decision-making and conflict resolution
