Tuesday, December 1, 2015 @ 1:00 PM Eastern
REGISTER NOW: http://shop.americanbar.org/ebus/ABAEventsCalendar/EventDetails.aspx?productId=225746892
The ethics rules require attorneys to “keep abreast of changes in the law and its practice, including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology.” Courts have refused to accept lack of competence as an excuse for violations of e-discovery and e-filing rules. This session will explore these emerging requirements, including:

-What is required of attorneys under ABA Model Rule 1.1
-Details of the competence requirements in a California opinion
-Competence and the new Federal Rules of Civil Procedure amendments
