GUIDE TO THE
INTERNET:
Why You Should Attend
Learn how the Internet is changing the Super Search Engine
way attorneys need to research in order to
competently represent their clients — and Strategies and Investigative
to avoid ethical or malpractice issues!
A lawyer’s research involves much more Research Strategies For The
Legal Professional
than just finding cases and statutes, and
whether you’re a transactional lawyer
looking for information on a company,
a consumer attorney tracking down a
defective product, a matrimonial attorney
searching for a spouse’s assets, or a
litigator looking for a missing witness, the
Internet can be an indispensable source
of information.
Nationally recognized Internet trainers
and authors of The Cybersleuth’s Guide to
the Internet will show you how to find and
use specific Web sites to unearth factual
and investigative information FREE (or
at low cost!) on the
Net. Instead of first
turning to experts,
consultants, skip
tracers, and private
investigators,
seminar attendees
will quickly learn Featuring Carole Levitt & Mark Rosch
how to be their
own cybersleuth.
All attendees will receive a copy
of the 300-page The Cybersleuth’s
Guide to the Internet (a $59.95 value)!

Super Search Engine Strategies
for the Legal Professional
Do lawyers have a duty to Google? In a recent decision, the
court was incredulous that plaintiff failed to “google” the missing
defendant as part of his due diligence process and upheld the
defendant’s claim of insufficient service of process. Effective
Internet searching may now need to become part of every
lawyer’s due diligence routine. At this seminar, attendees will
learn the best research strategies (including advanced search
features at Google and other search engines) that will assist
them in meeting their research obligations.
“The standard of care imposing liability on lawyers for legal
malpractice is changing owing to the increasing use of
computers. Internet accessibility is about to profoundly change
our research obligations…vast amounts of information are
readily available to everyone, including courts and clients….”

Investigative Research Strategies
for the Legal Professional
The ABA’s most recent Technology Survey found that while
nearly 90% of attorneys used the Internet “to research news
or current events,” less than half were using the public records
or company background information, both of which are freely
available on the Internet. The attorney who thinks they’re “using
the Internet in their practice” because they are reading the news
or checking their stock portfolios online runs the risk of having
cases dismissed, losing cases, or facing a malpractice suit…
because of information they’ve missed.
