Description
Smartphones are in reality powerful computers that store massive amounts of data, potentially including information that lawyers are required to keep confidential under the Rules of Professional Conduct, such as client names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and other information.
This program will discuss the data stored by smartphones, and the dangers created by apps that can access information that is supposed to remain confidential. The program will focus on how lawyers can protect confidential information and information about clients under Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3, 1.4, and 1.6, and will also address recent ethical guidance from major state bar associations.
Attendees will also learn how, with a few easy steps, they can secure their devices, determine which apps access which types of data, and how to deny access to apps that could improperly access and use the information stored on their phones.
