2007-05-15 Attorney's Competency Includes Technology
From The May 15 Issue of the Florida Bar News
Said Bar Ethics Counsel Elizabeth Tarbert: “Lawyers have an obligation of confidentiality, which requires that lawyers take reasonable precautions from inadvertently disclosing client information, as well as from purposefully disclosing client information. “Lawyers also have a duty of competence, which includes keeping current with technological changes that may affect the lawyers’ clients.”
Thoughts and comments from a lawyer-technologist about cybersecurity, privacy, and complex litigation, but with a twist of (or perhaps twisted) technology and electronic discovery. And the occasional on or off-topic rant. Cautionary Note: Nothing contained in this blog is intended to be, should be construed as, or considered to be, legal advice. If you require legal assistance, contact an attorney in your jurisdiction.
