Ethics & Technology in the Law Office
1 hour of Ethics MCLE
The California Bar Association’s Rules of Professional Conduct were amended effective November 1st, and a number of the changes touch on technology issues. Amir Sarreshtehdary and Megan Yip will walk us through some of the updates to the ethics rules and will discuss important considerations and obligations related to technology in the legal practice, including the management of law offices. Amir and Megan teach together regularly on the topic of “Ethics & Technology in the Law Office” at Golden Gate University as part of the LL.M. program and are looking forward to sharing this topic with SFIPLA.
