1. Barriers to Innovative Solutions By Jessica Jeffries, Pantea Mahim, Melissa Freeman, Ylda Kopka and Ean Kryska

2. Richard Zorza, Re- Conceptualizing the Relationship Between Legal Ethics and Technological Innovation in Legal Practice: From Threat to Opportunity, 67 Fordham L. Rev. 2659

3. In General New Communication Technology Can Increase Access to Legal Services to the Public at Large Skeptics Fear Longstanding Ethical Rules will be Violated Argues: Skeptic’s Fear is Misplaced; Innovation can Dramatically Advance Values Ethical Rules Seek to Protect Implications: Guardians of Ethical Behavior Should Engage in Cooperative Endeavor with Technology Innovators to Shape Technology to Advance Shared Value System.

4. Ethical Concerns and Practice Innovation: The Example of “Brief Service and Advice” The “Brief Service or Advice” Method – Grown Out of Dwindling Availability of Traditional Representation – Consists of Brief Interaction with Lawyer – Examples Web-sites that assist litigants with legal information Court Preparation, Including Form Completion Brief E-mail Advice for a Small Fee Other Forms of Formal or Informal Unbundling –Ghost Writing Forms –Pro-se clinics

5. Ethical Concerns and Practice Innovation: The Example of “Brief Service and Advice” Ethical Concerns – Client Autonomy and Informed Consent – Confidentiality – Conflict of Interest – Zealousness and Loyalty – Competence – Continuity of Representation

6. Important Power of Technology to Transcend Ethical Concerns Client Autonomy and Informed Consent – Knowledge – Communication – Wider Range of Representation Tools – Shaping the Interaction Confidentiality – Control over Data – Tracking of Access – Encryption and Security

7. Important Power of Technology to Transcend Ethical Concerns Conflict of Interest – Indexing – Use of Additional Information – Identity Improvements – Walls Between Information Zealousness and Loyalty – Communication and Feedback – Visibility

8. Important Power of Technology to Transcend Ethical Concerns Competence – Knowledge and Skills – Training Technologies – Electronic Peer Review – Statistical Tracking and Analysis Continuity of Representation – Feedback Systems – Higher Skill – Precision in Goals

9. Returning to the Example— Transformative Technology and Brief Service Client Autonomy – Client Diagnosis Software – Computer Customized Advice on Access to Knowledge – Customized Updating of Legal Information – Customized Internet Access Advice

10. Returning to the Example— Transformative Technology and Brief Service Confidentiality – Standardized Reminders for Advice Staff – Focused Attention to Areas of Risk Conflicts of Interest – Conflict Identification Zealousness – Giving the Professional Focused Risk Management Information – Pattern-Based Risk Assessment – Statistics on Effectiveness of Approaches and Players

11. Returning to the Example— Transformative Technology and Brief Service Competence – Follow-up With Client – Institutional Follow-Up – Quality Assurance Review Continuity – Highlighting Areas of Potential Future Need – Case Monitoring by System Linking

12. Returning to the Example— Transformative Technology and Brief Service The Central Caution: Consumer Capacity and Consumer Protection

13. Towards a General Analysis: How the Ethical Rules and Their Administration Should Relate to Changes in Technology Ethical Implications of Innov. Or Tech. Should be Based on Underlying Values, Rather Than on Prior Technical Rules Rules Governing Tech. Or Service Innov. Should be as General As Possible

14. Towards a General Analysis: How the Ethical Rules and Their Administration Should Relate to Changes in Technology Ethical Rules Should be Structured to Encourage Experimentation and Innov. Ethical Rules Should be Structured to Ensure Innov. Are Used Appropriately – Focus on Circumstance-Sensitive and Self-Monitoring Technologies

15. Towards a General Analysis: How the Ethical Rules and Their Administration Should Relate to Changes in Technology The Rules Should be Structured to Encourage Additional Development in Technology Itself The Rule-Making Process Should be Restructured to Incorporate the Technological Perspective
