The American Bar Association will present a webinar on “Using Technology for Communicating and Gathering Information: Is Opposing Counsel Being Sneaky, or Did You Fail to Protect Yourself and Your Client?” Wednesday, January 18, beginning at 1 p.m.
May opposing counsel ethically record your conversation with them without your consent? When you email your employment discrimination client using their employer-provided email and opposing counsel reads the emails, should you be outraged or shame-faced?
During the webinar, Professor Keith Swisher, University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, and Regina L. Nassen, principal assistant city attorney, will take a look at how those and other questions have been answered in different jurisdictions, some emerging trends, and some best practices that can help attorneys avoid trouble regardless of a state’s interpretation of the ethics rules. (ABA Model Rules 1.1, 1.6, 3.4, 4.2, 4.4);
(ABA Formal Opinions 01-422; 06-442;11-459; and 22-503)
The webinar is free for ABA members and non-members can attend for $130. To register, visit www.americanbar.org and click on “events.”
