“Is it Over Yet?”- Competence is More than What You Think (Especially NOW)

January 20, 2023


Live Only at SC Bar Conference Center, 1501 Park St, Columbia, SC 29201 – No Site Locations 

Don’t worry, this is not just ANOTHER program about the impact of the pandemic on the practice of law. We have all lived with COVID 19 and heard ad nauseum about its’ disruptive effects even to the point of having a new condition we’ll call PDF (Pandemic Discussion Fatigue). 

Nevertheless, we can’t deny that all of this has impacted our professional lives in many ways. So, the time is ripe to collectively re-examine what we need to do to take care of ourselves and take care of business. We can’t predict the future of the practice of law, but we can safely say that nothing will ever be quite the same.

Original video vignettes written and co-produced by ReelTime CLE founders Michael Kahn and Chris Osborn, will serve as the catalyst for a practical and informative consideration of the duty of competence and how it has metamorphosized in these times of the “new normal.” Michael and Chris and a round table of experienced South Carolina practitioners will identify and demonstrate practical strategies for individual and organizational well-being designed to help you meet your ethical obligations and better serve your clients.

Come join us for this interactive workshop and you will be equipped to: 

·        Better understand the duty of competence, and how its parameters and requirements keep changing in the COVID/pandemic era.

 

·     Identify and meaningfully address issues regarding technological competency and other difficult issues adversely affecting lawyer and staff performance. 

 

·        Adopt and sustain best practices for working via laptop or other mobile devices so as to protect client information, be vigilant regarding malware and other technological threats, and avoid unproductive distractions.

 

·        Identify and implement sustainable strategies for developing and maintaining a personal commitment to well-being.
