Why You Should Attend
Electronic evidence plays an increasingly important role in clients' cases in legal services work. Understanding the current case law and ethical rules governing the use of that evidence is essential for attorneys. This training will explore the many technologies utilized by legal services clients, the ethical rules governing attorneys who are interacting with that electronic evidence, and the ways in which attorneys can realistically present evidence in court, given the limited resources in most legal services offices.

• On-going and emerging technology in litigation, including cell phones and tablets, and online content, such as social media and email
