The Rules of Professional Conduct require that all attorneys evaluate the ethical implications of their use of technology for communicating with clients, storing and accessing documents and information gathering. This fast-paced, interactive CLE program will explore how recent court decisions, ethics opinions and changes to the ABA Model Rules have begun to shape the ethical terrain in the digital world. We will examine key areas in which attorneys must proceed with caution in taking advantage of new technologies, including ethical issues that arise in everyday activities such as:

• the use of email to communicate with clients
• the use of mobile applications on smart phones
• the use of off‐site third party services for email or electronic file storage
• using the Internet
• maintaining a firm website
• the use of social media including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and blogs
