"Lawyers need access to the Internet, their offices and other resources on a constant basis, and others need similar access to them. Portability will become a significant factor in every legal technology decision."

Dennis Kennedy's Seven Legal Technology Trends for 2007 - Widening the Digital Divide in Law Practice.

Why such a workshop?

While there are a not shortage of seminars to greet the new Practice Notes, more could be done to provide litigators with the basic practical hands-on IT knowledge to be able to work with their more computer-literate colleagues.

Who should attend?

NOT those with extensive hands-on experience with computerised litigation support.

Instead, those who want to learn about IT basics and empower themselves for litigation in the years ahead.

So, who should attend:

• Inhouse lawyers inspired by Laura Owen's suggestions.
• Litigation Partners, and Practice Leaders from large and small firms, so they can provide inspiration and direction.
• Practice Support Lawyers and Staff so they can add to the services they offer.
• Sole Practictioners so they can team up with consultants and other lawyers, and not be overwhelmed by their large firm colleagues.
• Barristers, so all members of the team are up to speed on IT.

Discounts are provided to additional people from the one firm to facilitate a wider understanding of the importance of IT in litigation.

MCLE

If a particular activity is relevant to your immediate or longer term professional development and practice of law, you can be entitled to claim one MCLE Unit for each hour of your actual attendance (not including breaks). With a planned 6 hours of seminars daily, it gives you the perfect solution for complying with your MCLE requirements.
