Presented by
David V. Dilenschneider, Director of Client Relations (Litigation), of LexisNexis
We all do it-to check out movie times, to shop, to check our stock portfolio and more. In short, we all use Google™, Bing™ or some other engine to search the Open Web-it has become a part of our personal lives. But what about the work we do as legal professionals? Should we be using the Open Web to conduct research? Many of us do. In fact, according to the ABA's 2015 Legal Technology Survey Report (Volume V: Online Research), well over 90% of researchers use "free online resources" for their research, and many of those practitioners actually start their research with such resources, most often via Google™.
But what are the risks? And does reliance on such resources-with respect to both investigative and legal research-place practitioners at risk of violating ethical canons? Worse yet, is malpractice implicated?
Presenter David V. Dilenschneider, Director of Client Relations (Litigation) from LexisNexis, provides a fast-paced, informative and revealing presentation addressing the ethical concerns-and frequent pitfalls-of conducting research via the Open Web.
