The DC Bar Association has scheduled a CLE seminar titled Ethics of Email, a session that uses hypothetical scenarios to explore unique issues involving the use of electronic communications and documents by lawyers.
The program will take place on Wednesday, June 11 from 6 to 8:15 p.m. at the DC Bar Conference Center, 1250 H Street, NW, Washington, DC.
This practical class will help participants learn about the ethical limits on using new technologies when communicating with clients and others; the ethical implications of working with service providers and discarding electronic files; the rules governing communications with adversaries (including ex parte contacts, metadata and "unscrubbed" documents, inadvertent transmittal of communications from adversaries, and limits on deceptive conduct); outsourcing of legal work; duty to retain electronic documents when anticipating litigation, and preparing privilege logs for electronic communications.
The speaker will be Thomas Spahn, McGuireWoods LLP.
