Next, we postulate about how ethics opinions will treat AI for lawyers (10:18, 12:50).\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Megan also covers the importance of setting communication boundaries between lawyers and clients (24:29) in light of ethical obligations (22:55). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We separately turn to the effects of the pandemic, and how it brought about an increased reliance on technology for lawyers (and, everyone) (15:30), and how this negatively affected mental health while contributing to attorney burnout (18:22).\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lastly, Megan talks about how the right technology can assist attorneys in de-stressing (20:39).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Join us for this wide-ranging conversation, which can positively affect <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">your<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> mental outlook, including when you gain a better handle on managing those thorny ethics questions you have but were afraid to ask.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;d like to consider an upgrade to your own tech stack, feel free to <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/406FC2u\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check out our Practice Management Buyer&#8217;s Guide here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<iframe border=\"0\" class=\"shortcode_iframe\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/play.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/26978019\/height\/192\/theme\/modern\/size\/large\/thumbnail\/yes\/custom-color\/87A93A\/time-start\/00:00:00\/playlist-height\/200\/direction\/backward\/download\/yes\" width=\"630\"height=\"192\"><\/iframe>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><em><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jaredcorreia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jared Correia<\/a>, a consultant and legal technology expert, is the host of the Non-Eventcast, the featured podcast of the Above the Law Non-Event for Tech-Perplexed Lawyers.\u00a0<\/i><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"summary\">We invited Megan Zavieh of Zavieh Law onto the Non-Eventcast to talk about modern legal ethics issues and provide us with real answers about how to handle them.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":136517,"featured_media":857295,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[8846,3277,8849,9002,359,7],"class_list":["post-28350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-buyers-guide","tag-jared-correia","tag-non-event","tag-non-eventcast","tag-practice-management","tag-technology"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>I Walk The Line: Legal Ethics &amp;
