Originally presented:  January 31, 2019     |     Course length:  1.0 hour

You handle protected client data and confidential information, and that’s some of the most sensitive information that attorneys possess. What are our duties as lawyers to secure protected client data in our possession – or in the hands of firm or legal department colleagues? You’ll hear from the highly rated teaching team of computer forensics expert Mark Lanterman and North Dakota Supreme Court Justice Daniel Crothers, who is a member of the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility and a past member of the ABA’s Cybersecurity Task Force. Justice Crothers examines common attorney misconceptions surrounding delegation of responsibility, and along with Mark Lanterman, provides practical insight about what attorneys can and must do. You’ll leave with the latest information on current data-security risks for lawyers handling protected client information, and recommendations for how to effectively counter those risks.
