What ethics rules are outdated and need a 21st century makeover? My guest, Eric Cooperstein, and I discuss a few of the rules that need a facelift in order to help lawyers do what they do best and spur innovation in the legal profession. We explore the relevance of advertising rules, profit sharing rules, and lawyer non-compete agreements.

Ethics Rules In Need of 21st Century Makeover with Eric Cooperstein [LGE 004]

How do lawyers function in today's changing legal market without running afoul of the ethics rules?  What must lawyers include in their social media profiles and posts?  How technologically competent must a lawyer be?  How secure must lawyers keep client data?  Can lawyers accept credit cards or cryptocurrency?  What should lawyers do if they receive a bar complaint?

The business of law is constantly evolving.  Staying out of trouble requires that lawyers understand the latest interpretations and applications of the ethics rules.  It also requires us to figure out what to do when the rules and modern business and technology are not in sync.
