Seminar Program FAQ's
1. What
is the seminar refund policy?
Refund of your registration fee will be made in full
if we receive notice of cancellation no less than 72 hours prior to the date
of the seminar.
Cancellation notice given less than 72 hours prior to the date of the seminar
will result in
Technology 4 Attorneys, LLC exercising the option, in its sole discretion,
to either retain
the registration fee allowing the registrant a credit on the seminar fee for
future seminars
to be held within the next year in said state, or alternatively, give registrant
a full, partial,
or no refund depending upon the costs and/or loss that we incur due in whole
or in part
to the last minute cancellation notice given by registrant. We are required
to make a firm
attendance guarantee to the hotels at least 72 hours prior to the date of
the seminar.
2. What
is your policy on obtaining CLE approval prior to the seminars? Our
firm
policy is to obtain CLE approval from the state bar or other approving entity
prior to
the dates of any seminars. We do not ever want to assume that approval will
be later
forthcoming because some lawyers are relying upon our representations as to
CLE
credit to complete CLE requirements literally days before their reporting
deadline.
The only exception to this policy to date is Arizona which does not
advance approve
CLE courses but relies upon their individual lawyers to assess the program
for the
purposes of whether there is compliance with their state's CLE requirements.
3. How
difficult or complex are the technology issues presented in your seminars?
Our approach is
to present these seminars in clear and understandable language to
avoid complicating the issues and to limit the use of computer oriented language
terminology and acronyms as much as possible. We want to discuss issues in
a
clear manner, not confuse people. Our overall presentation is geared towards
a
good, basic overview of the technology issues and concepts that confront lawyers
in their everyday law practice. Our belief is that adoption and implementation
of
many of these ideas can have a substantial impact on a firm's productivity
and
bottom line. Paralegals and staff can also learn much from these seminar programs.
4. What
are some of the technology topics that you intend to present in future seminars?
We currently have 4 seminar programs, 3 full
day and 1 half day, that are listed by topic
and agenda in our "Current Seminar Agenda" link on our main web
page. We also intend
to add 2 half day programs in fall 2004, with one program focusing on the
issues pertaining
to electronic evidence, admissibility, authentication, spoilation, destruction,
and recovery
of deleted or destroyed electronic records, including e-mails. The second
new program
will focus on actual demonstrations of many productivity enhancing law technology
tools
including portable high speed scanning, wireless demonstrations of legal research
in court,
mobile printing, encryption, unified messaging, & use of voice recognition
macro in forms.
