Need 3 hours of Ethics CLE? (Self-promotion warning).

I do a lot of speaking on ethics, mostly on ethical issues in patent prosecution and litigation. I’ve worked with cleonline.com for decades now (they were I think the first on-line provider), and I put together what I think is a cool presentation on the impact of technology on practice. You can take it here. (California, Texas, and perhaps other states are pre-aproved but read the fine print.)

Their ad is below… (My article about how innovation affects patenting is coming out soon, they say, all 294 footnotes of it.)

CLEonline.com is pleased to present a special online legal ethics program in which Professor David Hricikaddresses the myriad of practical ways that technology creates ethical issues for practicing lawyers. Professor Hricik discusses both the potential major trends — artificial intelligence changing daily legal practice, and technological developments like driverless cars potentially reducing car accidents which could affect entire practice areas — as well as the more immediate concerns. The latter includes the risks of communicating with clients while they are at work, inadvertent transmission of email, metadata (“hidden” confidential information in things like Word documents), cloud storage, and dealing with negative on-line reviews. This presentation mixes humor, fear, and practical tips to give 3 solid hours of Legal Ethics that matter and are immediately relevant to your law practice. The course features streaming video and audio (as well as downloadable MP3 audio) presentations.

Some of the subjects for this course include:

Exponential Change and Impact
A Future Full of Legal Disruption?
What Will Ethically, Successful Lawyering Require?
