Join us to hear this nationally renowned ethicist and well-regarded speaker address current issues of legal ethics. For this event, Professor Gillers will discuss five or six significant developments in the world of law practice and the regulation of lawyers, including three alternate business structures for delivering legal services, alternative litigation financing, inconsistencies in state ethics rules, outsourcing, technology's challenge to confidentiality, competition from foreign lawyers, and software that "practices" law (or law without lawyers). These developments reflect the ways that technology is changing how lawyers work and also how it is allowing non-lawyers and non-law firms to participate in the for-profit legal industry. Further, lawyers increasingly need to cross state and national borders - physically or virtually - as the needs of clients expand and as lawyers with specialties are asked to advise clients away from home, which in turn puts pressure on state-based admission rules and unauthorized practice prohibitions. The work of the ABA's 20/20 Commission will supply a backdrop for this event.
