As I am sure you know by now, the comment to ABA Model Rule 1.1 on the duty of competence states that there is a duty to understand the "technology" that lawyers use in the practice of law. To summarize what issues arise regarding this subject, the Legal Talk Network has posted a podcast interviewing Prof. Andrew
Perlman (Suffolk). Perlman discusses how the
lawyer’s ethical duty of competence is evolving and what level of
technological proficiency is reasonably expected today. He covers the
most basic knowledge of Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft
Excel to automated document assembly and cybersecurity. You can access the podcast by pressing the play button below or by going here.
