  Presentation highlights:
  

  As lawyers moved to working remotely, they flocked in droves to Zoom for video conferencing. While we are still waiting for Zoom to employ true end-to-end encryption (and Zoom is working hard on that), the current state of its security is ethically “good enough” provided the host of the Zoom conference knows his/her way around the product. This session is designed to alert you to the many ways you can use Zoom in the practice of law – with an eye to making sure that your usage of Zoom is secure and ethically compliant!

  The Honorable Winship C. Tower (Ret.) and Attorney, Bretta Lewis will discuss to their experience and expertise on mediating cases on Zoom, private zoom rooms and getting agreements signed the same day.
