The ABA’s Standing Committee on The Delivery of Legal Services will hold an online hearing on Friday, September 26 from 12:00-2:00pm eastern time to examine the use of technology to deliver legal services online. The Committee will listen to technology providers and attorneys regarding the technologies used and any policies that govern its use. The Committee will determine from the hearings whether the creation of policies is needed to assist practitioners in providing online legal services.

VLOTech plans to submit to the hearing committee its ebook entitled “Practicing Law Online: Creating a Web-Based Virtual Law Office.” The ebook discusses in detail the Web 2.0 technology used by VLOTech attorneys to practice law online and discusses ethical considerations and best practice tips recommended for providing online legal services.  If you would like a copy of the ebook, please email Stephanie Kimbro at skimbro@vlotech.net. If you would like to view the online hearing, details about the presenters and schedule will be posted on The Standing Committee on The Delivery of Legal Services’ website.
