Dear Colleagues:

The past two years have been an unprecedented time for the adoption of technology by lawyers. From the use of Zoom and other video communication tools by courts, businesses, and individuals to the importance of disaster recovery planning, since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic the practice of law demands a new level of competence in technology for attorneys to meet their duties under Texas Rules of Professional Conduct 1.01 cmt para 8.

Start the new year with a better practice by joining the Computer and Technology Section for our 5th Annual Technology and Justice for All CLE webinar, and earn up to 4.75 hours MCLE credit, including 1.75 hours of ethics credit.

This seminar will be presented by law and technology experts bringing perspectives from a diverse range of practices including cyber law, litigation, government, in-house counsel, and IP. This program will be archived and available for replay for the next 30 days, until March 13, on the CTS Section website.
