December 2, 2008 ( PowerHomeBiz ) - Albuquerque, NM  -- Internet For Lawyers, the countryıs pre-eminent provider of live continuing legal education presentations helping legal professionals use technology and the Internet more effectively in their practice, has partnered with the Nevada State Bar Association to present two of its popular live ³The Cybersleuthıs Guide to the Internet² MCLE presentations on Wednesday, December 3, 2008.

Nationally recognized Internet trainers and ABA authors (The Lawyer's Guide to Fact Finding on the Internet ­ www.abanet.org/abastore/productpage/5110568  Carole Levitt and Mark Rosch, will show attendees how to be their own cybersleuth and unearth information at no cost (or at low cost!) on the Internet.

Effective Internet searching should be a part of every lawyer's due diligence routine. From 9 AM until 12:15 PM, ³Super Search Engine Strategies for the Legal Professional² will explore the best search engine strategies (including advanced search features at Google and other search engines) to help attendees meet their research obligations. These search engine strategies also serve as the essential building blocks for conducting effective research at other Web sites. The program also addresses the lawyerıs "duty to google" and court decisions where attorneys were admonished (and lost cases) because they failed to include effective Internet research as part of their due diligence process.

Because a lawyer's research involves much more than just finding cases and statutes, knowing how to mine the wealth of information that people post on the Web can be a boon to attorneys who need to find background information about a person or to locate a subject. Whether itıs a transactional lawyer looking for information on a company, a consumer attorney tracking down a defective product, a family law attorney searching for a spouse's assets, or a litigator looking for a missing witness, the Internet can be an indispensable source of information. From 1:30 PM until 4:45 PM, ³Become a Cybersleuth: Using the Internet for Investigative Research² will focus on locating and extracting that information from specific Web sites. The seminar will also include a special focus on locating information contained in Social Networking sites and ways legal professionals have used that information to benefit their cases.

Legal professionals may choose to attend one or both of the programs. Attendees will receive a copy of Carole Levitt and Mark Rosch's 330-page book, The Cybersleuth's Guide to the Internet, 9th edition, 2008 (http://www.netforlawyers.com/prod01.htm) - a $59.95 VALUE!

The seminars will be held at Ballyıs Hotel & Casino. For more information, including pricing, visit the Nevada State Bar Associationıs Web site - http://www.nvbar.org/cle/pdf/2008internet.pdf .
