At Attorney at Work, law practice management adviser Jared Correia notes how in the last few years, the ABA and 20 states have revised their ethical guidelines to take technology into account.
“Lawyers who have traditionally prided themselves on buying a local software application with a single log-in and using it until the wheels fell off now have to be at least thinking about upgrading their technology platforms,” Correia writes. “In addition to the dictates of the ethics rules, the majority of states also have a data protection law, ostensibly applicable to attorneys.”
