The South Carolina Law Review is hosting a Symposium titled The Practice of Law in the 21st Century: The Intersection of Law & Technology. The event will focus on a host of issues related to the intersection of, and the resulting gap between, law and technology in recent years. Our distinguished presenters, panelists, and authors are focusing on matters such as: emerging trends and best practices in electronic discovery, technology’s impact on the ethical obligations of attorneys, and how the rules of evidence and civil procedure have each attempted—perhaps unsuccessfully—to keep pace with recent technological advances.

The Symposium will be held on Friday, March 1, 2013 at the University of South Carolina School of Law, following a keynote address by Bill Neukom and a reception on the evening of February 28, 2013. As the former Executive Vice-President for Law and Corporate Affairs of Microsoft for nearly twenty-five years, past president of the ABA, and founding donor of The Neukom Institute for Computational Science at Dartmouth College, Mr. Neukom’s wealth of experience in navigating the intersection of law and technology is without question. He will undoubtedly provide those in attendance with a unique perspective on how the law and the legal profession can catch up to, and keep pace with, recent changes in technology. The Symposium will also offer attendees 5.25 hours of CLE credit, including 1.17 hours of ethics credit. The South Carolina Commission on CLE & Specialization (950 Taylor Street, across from the post office) will remain open, with a notary available, until 6pm on March 1st, so anyone needing credit hours for the 2012-2013 reporting period (due March 1st) will have time to get their CLE report signed, notarized, and filed after the symposium.

For more information regarding Volume 64’s Symposium, as well as sponsorship opportunities, please contact our Symposium Editors, Kimberly Cochran and Jessica O’Neill, at [email protected] or (803) 777-5874.
