Program: Cybersecurity & Avoiding Common Missteps

Cybersecurity

As lawyers, we have an ethical obligation to protect our client’s information, yet increasingly that information is threatened by hackers, ransomware, and our own carelessness. Not understanding technology is not an excuse and may be an ethical violation as well. This portion of the program will provide an overview of some of these issues and how to protect our client’s information as well as our own from attack.

Dumb Things Lawyers Do
Regardless of education, experience, and smarts, lawyers occasionally do dumb things. Mistakes with client funds, representing “bad” clients, and “dabbling” are just a few of the lawyer missteps we will discuss.

Speaker: Janis M. Meyer, Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP

Ms. Meyer is a special professor of law at the Hofstra University Maurice A. Deane School of Law, where she teaches legal ethics and "practical aspects of lawyering."

SBM Next Conference: Shape the Future of Your Law Practice Today

Formerly the Annual Meeting/Solo & Small Firm Institute, the NEXT Conference focuses on the future of law practice by bringing Michigan lawyers together in a whole new way to learn, share ideas, make connections, and more. Tailor the program to your needs by creating your own unique experience. Want to attend a section meeting, grab lunch, and catch an educational session or two? We’ve got you covered. Or maybe you’d rather focus on education and networking? You can do that too with a new, inclusive “all-member” lunch and reception. With two day, one day, and a la carte pricing options, it’s the conference that fits your schedule. Your conference, your way.

Dan Abrams, chief legal analyst for ABC News and founder and CEO of Abrams Media, will kick off the NEXT Conference by delivering the opening keynote presentation at 9:00 a.m. Thursday, September 28. There is no cost to attend the keynote.
