Technology

The Technology Committee is one of the most diverse committees within DRI. The committee is comprised of individuals whose backgrounds are as varied as their practices. Technological issues have had a significant impact on all substantive practice areas. The committee strives to meet the needs of its membership by keeping them apprised of recent legal rulings and to educate the membership in the use of new technologies in order to increase operational efficiency, reduce overall costs and facilitate a better internal and external communication with customers, clients, other counsel and the courts.

The committee actively seeks individuals looking to become involved. Committee participation provides the opportunity to speak publicly at various DRI conferences and webconferences throughout the year. The webconferences are specifically tailored to address recent legal developments with presentations by seasoned litigators.

The committee also provides excellent platform to showcase your writing skills. The committee’s newsletter, E-News, is published quarterly and the committee submits a series of articles to DRI’s monthly magazine, For The Defense. These articles offer a scholarly analysis of recent developments and trends in the law.

The Technology Committee provides many exciting opportunities to become actively involved. We invite you to join our enthusiastic committee.

Twitter and Facebook and MySpace, Oh My: New Rules for New Technology - WEBCAST, Thursday, September 16, presented by DRI's Public Policy, Technology, and Law Practice Management Committees

Over the past five years, social networking websites have boomed in popularity.

The need for guidelines, protocols, and policies in law firms has increased concomitantly with overall usage of these sites. This webcast will provide suggested dos, and vivid examples of don’ts, for online networking in the context of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, various ethical opinions, and recent case decisions. Attendees will also receive a social media policy template for their law firms that will provide suggestions on how to minimize the pitfalls and maximize the benefits associated with participating in these sites.

New DRI Defense Library Series Publication - DRI Survey of Federal and State Court Electronic Filing Rules

Navigating the electronic filing rules for each of the federal circuit, federal district and state courts within the United States can prove a perilous path for attorneys who do not regularly practice within a particular jurisdiction.

DRI's newest edition to the Defense Library Series, DRI Survey of Federal and State Court Electronic Filing Rules, will explore how each court maintains its own electronic filing requirements (although some state court systems do not yet utilize electronic filing). The regional nature of many legal practices today often requires counsel to understand and apply several of these electronic filing rules, and this DRI survey provides a nuts and bolts look at the basic requirements for electronic filing in each federal and state court across the country. To order this and other valuable resources for your firm, visit the DRI Bookstore.
