In 2012, the American Bar Association amended the Model Rules of Professional Conduct (“ROPC”) to address technology issues. As of today, 38 states have adopted at least some of those changes. Among other things, the italicized language was added to Rule 1.1, Comment 8: “To maintain the requisite knowledge and skill, a lawyer should keep abreast of changes in the law and its practice, including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology…” Further, Rule 1.6(c) was added which states that “[a] lawyer shall make reasonable efforts to prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of or unauthorized access to information related to the representation of a client.” As we all know, digital client data is much harder to protect from unauthorized disclosure than the analog (paper-based) data it is replacing. The cold reality is that it’s nearly impossible to practice law today without directly using technology. For many in the generation of lawyers who didn’t grow up with technology, the new tools and procedures being thrust upon us are a constant source of discomfort and irritation. What does a senior lawyer need to know about the ethics rules changes, and how do we uphold our supervisory obligations under ROPC 5.1 and 5.3? What (simple and inexpensive) tools are available to help lawyers discharge their duty to use “reasonable efforts” to protect client data? How can a lawyer (who may not consider him/herself to be tech savvy) learn to be more self-reliant and confident about the technology tools we simply cannot avoid while practicing law? In this segment, we answer all of those questions and more. Finally, don’t expect web meetings (Zoom, GoToMeeting, Microsoft Teams, etc.) to go away any time soon, regardless of whether COVID-19 ever gets under control. More importantly, how does one participate in Zoom meetings without worrying about embarrassment, tech problems or appearing as a kitten? In this segment, we’ll focus on Zoom and explain how the technology works, what you need to know, and what simple things you can do to upgrade your web meeting game. We’ll give you very specific recommendations for things you probably never thought you’d need to know in order to practice law such as web cameras, backdrops, microphones and better lighting options. We’ll explain how virtual backgrounds work, the benefit of a “green screen,” and how to get the “computer audio” options to work for you.
