[Patentpractice] Ethics CLE – securing electronic communications

[Carl Oppedahl]

In nearly every state, ethics rules require a lawyer to make reasonable 
efforts to prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of, or 
unauthorized access to, information relating to the representation of a 
client.  Colorado Rule 1.6(c), for example, says:

    /A lawyer shall make reasonable efforts to prevent the inadvertent
    or unauthorized disclosure of, or unauthorized access to,
    information relating to the representation of a client./ 

Does it violate ethics rules to use email in client communications? Does 
it violate ethics rules to use ordinary text messaging on a mobile 
phone?  What about Skype, or Whatsapp, Viber or Signal?

What about the use of ordinary landline telephones, which can be easily 
tapped?  Are VOIP phone lines more secure or less secure than ordinary 
landline telephones?

In this webinar, learn what steps can be easily taken to greatly improve 
security of email communications.  Find out how some VOIP phone lines 
are vastly more secure than others and are much more secure than 
ordinary landline telephones or ordinary mobile phones.  Learn which 
messaging services are much more secure than others.  Learn how to be 
smart about these things in international communications and during 
international travel.
