“Online Dispute Resolution: Challenges and Opportunities for Lawyers”

As the Ombudsman for the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), Frank Fowlie is in a unique position to comment on the state of online dispute resolution (ODR). Technological innovation in legal practice and the growing interest in alternative forms of dispute resolution raise unprecedented opportunities for the use of different technology platforms for resolving legal disputes. Mr. Fowlie will discuss these opportunities (and the challenges) they present to the legal profession.

 

Program

The 2007 Conference brings together experts and distinguished speakers from Canada and the United States to discuss and showcase the latest technologies available to enhance leadership in legal practice.

This year's education tracks have something for everyone.

• Get up to speed on the latest legal technology.   Learn to use technology to maximize market share and gain experience in practical sessions on voice activated software, Adobe Acrobat and practice management and accounting software.

See for yourself what kind of impact technology can have on the way you practice law. Curious about the virtues of a virtual office, wondering about the benefits and downsides to wireless technologies or planning to go green with a paperless office?   There is something here for you.

Attend to the critical nuts and bolts of your practice.   Meet the regulatory requirements imposed by privacy legislation in an electronic world without blowing a circuit.   Find out what you need to know when acquiring and implementing technology. Technology is here to stay--learn to manage the security issues that come along with it.

• Take technology to court.   E-Discovery, electronic evidence, technology toolkits for litigators and lessons from the front lines on using technology into the courtroom are all covered in sessions sure to be of interest to the trial lawyers among you.
