| Growing demand, rising ethical concerns
All attorneys have had to grapple with the challenges of practicing law during a pandemic, but those who represent pro bono clients face unique dilemmas.
At Pro Bono in the Pandemic: Ethical Considerations of Remote Representation, panelists will not only discuss some of the challenges of representing low-income clients when in-person meetings are not safe or possible, but they’ll also review privacy and security issues that lawyers need to think about when representing any client from a remote office environment.
You’ll discuss:
- What to do if clients don’t have the necessary technology to participate in remote meetings, conferences, and hearings
- How to ensure confidentiality when meeting with clients over video or audio
- The security of electronic communications like email, text messaging, and cloud storage
Help low-income clients solve their legal problems – and avoid creating ethical problems for yourself in the process – with guidance from Pro Bono in the Pandemic: Ethical Considerations of Remote Representation. Register now!
