Don't Be a Robot: You Can't Automate Your Ethical Considerations

Attorneys have more technology options than ever before, and the majority of states require attorneys to be aware of the benefits and risks associated with relevant and new technology. As legal technology evolves and clients become more cost-conscious, opportunities present themselves for attorneys to utilize technology to streamline their practice and, in some cases, automate certain tasks. Technology allows attorneys to spend less time on tasks, focusing on the substance, while clients are content with the efficiency. But what about the question always at the forefront of our minds as attorneys: what are the ethical pitfalls, and how do we avoid them?
