- Document Management and Retention: Can I Throw It Away Yet?
It is not uncommon for firms to have hundreds, sometimes thousands of closed bankers boxes sitting around, with some spending thousands of dollars on closed file storage per month. Many firms are starting to move towards paperless office environments, which begs the question(s) “How long do I have to keep my closed files ... paper and/or electronic?”... and “How can I convert that paper to digital so I can destroy the paper files?” In this webinar, you will learn the essentials about document management & retention and a common-sense economical and ethical approach to a complex issue.
This program will be rebroadcasted in December.

Law and medicine were always the pair: well-respected professions, pathways to middle class (or better!) comfort, and laggards with technology. Whether you went to a doctor’s office or a lawyer’s office, paper ruled the day. But that’s changing. One of the last bastions of “paper is king” is the executed document – “wet” signatures serving as proof that a certain person signed a document. This is true...to a point. Depending on your state, some “wet” originals govern. But, for many transactions, digital signatures have the same full legal effect as “wet” signatures, and they’re more secure to boot. A digital signature platform produces proof of who signed a document and when and where, as well as a “chain of custody” for the document. This seminar explores all things “digital signature” and starts you down the right path for a digital John Hancock.

Public speaking is a core leadership skill. Attorneys are expected to be comfortable in a range of virtual, in-person, formal and informal situations. Whether you’re talking to a client or speaking in court, you want to deliver a clear, confident message.

In this on demand workshop, you’ll learn how to sharpen your message to be more concise; engage your audience; master the virtual presentation, including technology tools, lighting and set-up; and use voice, gestures and eye contact to speak effectively.

Back by popular demand, TBA CLE brings you an attorney wellness session providing tools to combat and avoid legal burnout.
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 1 or 2 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 resolutionThis program will be rebroadcasted in December.

- Law Tech - Cybersecurity: Data Breach, Identity & Access Management, and Your Law Practice
Even with the most cursory glance of the headlines, it is easy to encounter news of yet another data breach. Unfortunately, it does not require much additional effort to discover a story where a law firm is the victim. Perhaps equally upsetting, companies that provide identity and access management (IAM) products and services are also being increasingly targeted.
This session will provide an update on changes in the cybersecurity landscape and whether what has been “best practice” for attorney cybersecurity remains so.
