It will be offered on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30 – 2:55 P.M. Technology in Law Practice focuses on the growing role of technology in law practice, from productivity to client management to social networking, with special emphasis on provisions of the Rules of Professional Conduct. It will be offered on Thursdays from 1:30 – 3:30 P.M. Please consider adding either or both to your spring semester schedule.
