CBA Updates on Ethics and Solicitor-Client Privilege

The November-December 2010 CBA eNews provides links to some new and updated content from the Canadian Bar Association on the following topics:

- FAQs on Solicitor-Client Privilege and Confidentiality

- Guidelines for Practicing Ethically with New Information Technologies (PDF)

- Guidelines for Ethical Marketing Practices Using New Information Technologies (PDF)

- CBA Code of Professional Conduct 2009

I also note the CBA Practice Link article entitled Beyond First-Generation Knowledge Management that cites me and a number of colleagues working in the KM field.

Ted Tjaden has been a lawyer for over 20 years during which time he also obtained his Master of Information and Master of Laws degree from the University of Toronto. He is currently immersed in various Knowledge Management projects.
