The Duty of Technology Competence

1-Hour Legal Ethics Webinar

 

In modern legal practice, legal professionals regularly use MS Word to deliver legal services. This includes everything from drafting complex transactional and litigation documents to writing a simple letter. Since MS Word is a tool of the trade, legal professionals must develop the necessary skills to serve their clients efficiently and effectively.

In this 1-hour program, Ivy B. Grey uses the example of MS Word to explain:

  • a lawyer's duty to competently use technology in practice
  • how refusal to embrace technology can lead to overbilling clients
  • how incompetent use of MS Word may reveal client confidences
  • why legal professionals must work together to ensure everyone uses technology properly
