Cyber Hygiene for Lawyers

by Jason Potter
On demand
1h 0m 06s
In this digital age, invisible threats lurk in every dark alleyway of the internet. Knowledge, awareness, and daily cyber hygiene are necessary to prevent cybercrime and fraud, preserve confidential information, and ethically serve clients. Through two hypothetical scenarios, we’ll explore the biggest cybersecurity vulnerability of all—ourselves. People with poor cyber hygiene are a prime target for cyber adversaries, who use tactics and methods like phishing, social engineering, and malware to exploit their weaknesses. We’ll explore the ethical dimensions of cybersecurity, the types of cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities, some daily preventive habits that can reduce threat exposure, some techniques for recognizing phishing scams, and the anatomy of a ransomware attack. Viewers will also receive a cyber hygiene checklist.

Stress, Competence, and the Seven Elements of Self

by Jason Potter
On demand
1h 3m 43s
Stress can cause serious harm to one’s health, or even death. Approximately 120,000 people die every year as a direct result of work-related stress, and over 75% of physician visits pertain to stress-related issues. Over the years, stress has been normalized in the legal ecosystem, with success and achievement outweighing balance and wellbeing. Chronic stress can have a dangerous impact on attorney wellbeing and competence to practice law, but there’s a movement within the profession to change all that. In this presentation, we’ll take a humorous look at stress and burnout in the context of attorney competence and explore the concept of attorney wellbeing. We’ll then use a self-mastery framework called the “Elements of Self” to explore individual techniques and practices for reducing stress, achieving wellbeing, and maintaining competence.

A Primer on Excessive Force and the Fourth Amendment

by Jason Potter
On demand
1h 0m 37s
All police must comply with the U.S. Constitution. When they don’t, the harm police cause is unjustified, and its impact can be far reaching. In this presentation, we introduce you to the major issues that arise in representing people harmed by police during an “arrest, investigatory stop, or other seizure.” We will take a practical look at the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against unreasonable seizures, and the primary vehicle for addressing excessive police force—42 U.S.C. § 1983. In doing so, we will explore Fourth Amendment excessive force caselaw, including the doctrine of qualified immunity, and touch on the hot topic of police bodycams.
