practicePRO Technology Breakfasts

In today's continuously changing legal environment, lawyers are being challenged more than ever before. LAWPRO believes that it's imperative that lawyers stay current with changing trends in technology to be more effective in managing their practices.

Technology is here to stay and you can learn to use it to your advantage. Lawyers who fail to embrace technology may find themselves unable to meet their clients' needs and expectations, and unable to compete in an increasingly complex practice climate. Technology can make your practice more competitive and more profitable.

Recognizing this, practicePRO is conducting a series of "Technology Breakfasts". These breakfasts will be in a variety of formats, and the topics reviewed will cover all aspects of legal technology. Some sessions will feature two or three lawyers providing a hands-on review of how they use a particular legal technology product. Other sessions will offer you an opportunity to see two comparable technology products "face-off" against each other. Still other sessions will be largely educational in nature.

Sessions will be scheduled approximately once per month, held at LAWPRO's office at 250 Yonge Street, Suite 3101, Toronto. A continental style breakfast will be available starting at 7:45 a.m. Sessions will start promptly at 8:00 a.m. and finish between 8:45 and 9:00 a.m. The cost to attend is $15. To register, please contact the practicePRO Co-ordinator at (416) 596-4623 or 1 800 410-1013, or by email at practicepro@LAWPRO.ca.

Online versions of some breakfasts are available for $29.95 at the BAR-ex Communications Web site at www.bar-ex.com. These online versions provide screen captures and audio from the actual presentations, along with copies of presentation material.
