Communication today is almost entirely electronic, web-based and instantaneous. This is true across all industries and is relevant to almost all types of communications. And while most businesses expect, require and create provisions for confidentiality, none are as restricted as the legal profession.

The course will cover e-discovery and e-filing, malicious hacking, exercising privilege over e-mail and inherently public communication platforms such as twitter.
