The document discusses how law firms can use cloud computing services to improve their practice. It begins by explaining the traditional software distribution model used by small law offices versus the software-as-a-service model provided by cloud computing. It then discusses the benefits of cloud computing, including being up and running fast, saving money, and improving cash flow. The document also covers some of the ethical considerations around using cloud computing, noting that several state bar associations have issued opinions confirming it is allowable if attorneys take reasonable security precautions. It ends by discussing specific security aspects of cloud computing like encryption, server security, privacy policies, and data protection.
This presentation identifies and discusses certain ethical rules and opinions that apply to an Arizona lawyer's use of cloud computing in his or her practice. The concepts are generally applicable to lawyers in many other states as well.

Public cloud and security go hand in hand, if you approach it properly
The cloud is already being well used, but lots of organisations still have questions about its security. Is data protection in the cloud really optimal, or is this uncertainty justified? In this breakout session we look at the main concerns we hear from our customers. Can we build a perimeter around cloud applications? Which sectors or scenarios are not suitable for the cloud, and where in particular is it recommended? How do I get to grips with ‘shadow IT’? Do I have to manage things myself in the cloud? Does the public cloud satisfy the strictest security requirements? And what's the most secure authentication? Data protection isn't just limited to firewalls or intrusion systems, after all. The key lies in having a comprehensive security policy, and in this session we zoom in on the major components and challenges.

Is your legal practice prepared for a disaster?
In this webinar, learn how utilizing cloud computing
can prepare your practice for unexpected disasters
and strategies for disaster mitigation and recovery.
Topics Covered in this Webinar:
• What is a disaster?
• What is disaster preparation?
• Why lawyers need a disaster recovery plan
• How to build your own disaster recovery plan
Opening and closing a case can be filled with minefields for law firms. Conflict checks, information gathering, file handoff and bill collections all can impose burdens on lawyers - taking them away from the valuable time actually servicing their clients' legal needs. If you hit a roadblock while on-boarding a new client, you can be setting your firm up for a future complaint. If you fail to close a file properly, your firm may be writing off legal fees that you've earned, and lose a client.
The entries and exits matter just as much in legal services as handling the case. Are you taking a 360 degree view when handling your cases?
In this Clio webinar, learn what you need to know about handling the bookends of intake and invoicing, including:
- Centralizing and documenting your conflict checks,
- Tools to help clients organize and share vital information with your firm,
- Best practices for ethically closing files, and
- Managing cash flows when invoicing clients

The practice of law continues to evolve. Lawyers are no longer limited between choosing to work in Big Law or running a solo storefront practice.
Distributed law firms, corporate secondments, and legal freelancers are all becoming successful options for lawyers seeking a change.
Learn from Nicole Bradick, founder of Custom Counsel and a 2012 ABA "Legal Rebel" and Joshua Lenon, Clio's Lawyer in Residence who will talk more about:
- What types of lawyers excel in alternative models
- How to pick the right model for your practice
- How technology makes it easier to adopt new models
Clients love flat fees; lawyers worry about them. Driven by client demand, hourly billing is on its last legs and flat fees are fast becoming the norm in legal billing. It's becoming crucial that firms acquaint themselves with the practical and ethical issues that are associated with flat fee billing.
Join Lee Rosen (lawyer, blogger, and expert on the modern practice) of Divorce Discourse and Clio's own Joshua Lenon in this live webinar as they discuss how forward-thinking lawyers are utilizing flat fees in their firms' billing structure.
In this free Clio Webinar, we'll cover:
- What is a flat-fee pricing model? Can your firm profit?
- What ethical issues are involved in charging clients a flat fee?
- How do you calculate a fair flat fee?
Lawyers are being held responsible for an increasing amount of client-held data. Failure to understand client collection and storage of electronically-stored information (ESI) can have dire consequences for clients and the lawyers that represent them.
Rather than wait for litigation to occur and having to scramble under discovery requests, law firms should begin guiding and organizing their clients' ESI to identify and prevent problems before they occur.
Investigation turns turn discovery on it's head by centralizing and storing information to produce on demand.
Managing a Criminal Law Firm with Clio
Your days are spent in and out of the courtroom, your car is a second office, and the notification light on your phone is always flashing. As a criminal defense lawyer, your time is precious. Your razor-sharp wit needs to be focused on protecting your clients and winning cases, and not on keeping track of files, court dates, and administrative tasks. You need a practice management solution that is as agile and quick as you are.
Clio helps criminal lawyers organize their case files, store and review evidence, and manage their firm’s finances. Clio’s practice management software is the mobile tool that travels with criminal lawyers from the office to trial and back.
Clio’s case management software
Clio’s advanced features for criminal law firms

In fifty minutes Stephanie and Drew will review all of the different integrations that you can use to supercharge your practice and streamline your processes. Everything from client intake and company branding to email management and case research - see how you can connect everything with Clio.
Law firms are required to hold money in trust. This money is not their own, so they have a fiduciary responsibility to protect and account for it.
A lawyer’s responsibility to hold client funds separate from their own seems simple in principle, but with strict rules surrounding trust accounts, many lawyers run into challenges with maintaining them correctly. From documenting deposits and disbursements to handling varied payment methods by clients, trust accounting remains a compliance minefield for law firms.
Is your law firm at risk of committing trust account errors?
Learn how to avoid trust account mistakes while improving your firm’s billing process during Clio’s one-hour webinar. In this presentation you’ll learn:
The rules for managing trust accounts
Differences between general bookkeeping & legal accounting
How to reconcile trust accounts
How Clio’s newest trust accounting features can help
Cybersecurity has been in the news frequently. From major corporations to individuals, hackers have been able to infiltrate and hijack sensitive computer systems, gaining unauthorized access to communications and information. In response, clients are demanding strong assurances from law firms that their private data remains confidential. Lawyers have to go beyond promising confidentiality; they must now prove confidentiality.
Join Clio's Lawyer in Residence, Joshua Lenon, as he explains the steps a law firm should be taking to secure their electronic data. In this free, hour-long webinar, learn:
- emerging regulatory requirements for data security,
- reasonable standards of data protection put forth by the National Institute of Standards and Technology,
- procedures for reducing security weakness from employees
- recommended tools and settings for maintaining your own data security
Lawyers are required to enact 'reasonable' safeguards when storing client files. They must also deal with an ever-increasing number of new privacy regulations imposed on them and their clients. When handling sensitive client data, lawyers need to balance issues of confidentiality and privacy against building productive workflows. Failure to keep client information secure can lead to a potential waiver of privilege, malpractice claims, and even fines from various government agencies. Law firms need rigorous security, no matter their firm’s size or practice area.
A law firm’s security plan must include three components: user training and access controls, secure technology, and a recovery plan.
Join Clio’s lawyer in residence, Joshua Lenon, as he shows you how to enact a security plan for your law firm with guest Chris Wiesinger of CloudMask, an encryption service provider for cloud-based technologies.
In this free, CLE-accredited presentation1, attendees will learn:
The difference between confidentiality and privacy for law firms
The regulations that apply to all law firms, as well as those for specific practice areas
The security planning tips you can use to assess and protect your law firm
The tools to improve your law firm’s security profile
Better Outcomes for Lawyers and Their Clients
A recent study identified three critical success factors that help law firms find and retain the most sought-after clients. Will your clients recommend your firm to their peers? Does your firm have the reputation to command premium rates and tackle complex issues? Is your firm recognized for innovative, relevant, and forward-thinking approaches? Clients reward firms that give them effortless experiences.
Crafting a streamlined approach not only helps your law firm but also aids clients. Firms that focus on their clients’ experience find their clients participate fully throughout the progression of their case, share information more readily, and are more responsive to requests.
Join Clio and Ruby Receptionist as they explore the success that follows a client-centric approach. In this free webinar you will learn:
Success factors of client-centric law firms
Tips for improving client collaboration
Services to help connect with clients
Tools that provide 24/7 access for your clients
Decoding the unwritten rules of court etiquette.
Often treated as beings of unlimited power and unknowable disposition, judges and their clerks are mysteries to many lawyers. How do you address them? What are you allowed to say to them in the hallway or on social media? Why are you losing so many rulings at trial?
In this one-hour webinar join Judge Stephen Louis A. Dillard, the 73rd judge of the Court of Appeals of Georgia, David Lat, a former Federal Court clerk and founder of the wildly popular Above the Law blog, and Clio’s own Lawyer In Residence Joshua Lenon as they cover:
- why courts have local rules;
- mistakes every lawyer makes communicating with the court;
- how to help courts handle your cases smoothly;
- bringing collegiality back to the practice of law.
Learn from other lawyers’ mistakes and never lose a ruling again.
Mobile devices have become nearly ubiquitous in our society. Consumers have come to expect on-demand services, seamless experiences, and attention, across all industries—including professional services. This has set a new standard for the rhythm and pace required for client interaction.
This shift to mobile services is already disrupting the way legal services operate. Law firms are being challenged to get more done in a secure manner, to maximize billable hours, and to get people what they need when they need it. While mobile technology is increasing the demands on lawyers, technology also offers a means to practice more efficiently.
90% of lawyers already report using a smartphone for law-related tasks while away from their office. However, only 7% use their mobile phone to track time and billing, potentially losing billable hours. Worse, many law firms do not take basic precautions in securing their smartphones and data accessed over mobile devices.
Is your law firm prepared to go mobile?
This hour-long webinar explores:
- Ethics to keep in mind when accessing client data in public
- How to setup your mobile phone for secure access
- What apps to choose for legal practice, including a sneak peak at Clio’s new app
- How to protect yourself and your clients while practicing on the go
Technological advancements are around every corner, and staying up to date, if not ahead of the game, can make or break your practice. Muriel and Zach will go over best practices when it comes to communicating with clients, maintaining security standards, and collaborating with others.
Your firm isn’t a traditional one. Why are you measuring its success like it is?
Learn how to build a successful business model in this free Clio webinar.
When thinking about KPIs (key performance indicators), many lawyers think that simply looking at revenues is enough to keep track of how well their practices are doing. In this webinar, you’ll learn more about realization rate, profit per partner—and why these traditional metrics don’t necessarily work anymore for today’s small and solo firms.
Join Clio’s own George Psiharis and Joshua Lenon as we show you the measures that are relevant to today’s firms—and the importance of return on investment (ROI) in every legal practice.
In this webinar, we’ll cover:
- Basic law firm KPIs your firm should be measuring (including utilization rate, realization rate and collection rate)
- How to shift your KPI focus from the billable hour to the client
- How to measure your firm’s success like a startup
- Find out how to maximize your ROI by thinking like an entrepreneur and building a successful business model for your firm!

Is Your Application Environment Ready?
Data Privacy regulation is top of mind this semester with the GDPR enforcement in Europe coming into effect May 25th, 2018.
Most companies doing business with the EU have to perform an assessment of their current applications and data policies to make sure they are going to be compliant.

Banking Cores and Clouds in Asia Pacific: understanding Banks Use of Cloud Co...Samia Kenley
The banking sector has been amongst the slowest industries to migrate core processing to the cloud.
This transition can lead to many key benefits including agility and innovation. With regulators increasingly recognizing the positive and economic benefits and impact of using cloud technology to digitize the bank more financial institutions are encouraged to start moving their core banking application to the cloud.
The webinar discussed the growing trends in banking and the cloud as a technology benefit for customers, regulation, fintechs and most importantly innovation. Primarily focusing on the Australian and Hong Kong markets, the conversation included the APAC region in general, as its clear cloud maturity is a matter of regional acceptance and readiness and that banks are approaching these services in many ways.
Content based on research and insights was delivered through presentation and discussions with industry experts Connie Leung from Microsoft, Trevor Clarke from Tech Research Asia and Ross Mallace from Temenos.
The webinar serves as a perfect guide on how the use of cloud will shape the banking landscape in Asia Pacific. Please explore the resources below and contact rmallace@temenos.com for further information.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

14. There is a profound message here
for lawyers—when thinking IT and
the Internet, the challenge is not
to automate current working
practices that are not efficient.
The challenge is to
innovate, to practice
law in ways that we
could not have done in
the past.

that

Proposed
new
Model
Rule

would

clear
that
a

has
an
ethical
duty
to
take
reasonable
measures
to
protect
a
client’s
con7idential
information
from
inadvertent
disclosure
and
unauthorized
access.
This
duty
is
already
implicit
in
Model
Rule
1.6
and
is
described
in
several
existing
comments,
but
the
Commission
concluded
that,
in
light
of
the
pervasive
use
of
technology
to
store
and
transmit
con5idential
client
information,
this
obligation
should
be
stated
explicitly
in
the
black

of
Model
Rule
1.6.

34. ABA
Model
Rules
of
Professional
Conduct
“ When transmitting a communication that includes
information relating to the representation of a client, the
lawyer must take reasonable precautions to prevent the
information from coming into the hands of unintended
recipients. This duty, however, does not require that the
lawyer use special security measures if the method of
communication affords a reasonable expectation of
privacy.” (Emphasis added)
