Ethics 2020 – The Future is Now

Open a new decade with a look at where the legal profession is heading. As the Rules of Professional Responsibility evolve along with technology innovations, lawyers must remain competent as to how these Rules impact their practice of law. This two-hour webinar will examine issues of which the lawyers of today and tomorrow must be aware. From non-lawyer referral services to jury research to social media consequences, this distinguished panel will discuss cutting-edge problems through hypotheticals. Some recent and proposed Rule changes that impact all lawyers across the state will be examined. Other topics include:

• Ethical Considerations in Boosting Your Client Reviews, i.e. Can I Solicit Positive Reviews?
• The Right Way to Start a Law Blog? What ethical pitfalls should I watch out for?
• Post-Trial Communications with Jurors–Do’s and Don’ts
• Does Email Tracking Violate the Rules of Professional Conduct?
• Is Jury Research on Social Media an Ethics Risk or a Competency Requirement?
• Can Lawyers and Judges Be Social Media Friends? How has this evolved?
• How to Respond to Negative Online Attorney Reviews Keeping Ethics and Marketing In Mind
• Limited Scope Appearances in Illinois State Courts
• Fake-Based Discovery – What is it and how to watch for it?
