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.
(news continued below)
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
