MANAGING ELECTRONIC EVIDENCE

More secure electronic message and storage services (which also might be a bit more cumbersome to use) might be provided by your practice management software, Cisco, or SpiderOak (full disclaimer: one of my adult kids works for SpiderOak, but in mentioning the company, I do not intend in any way to promote it). Bad passwords are your address, birthday, names of children or parents, your own name, the name of the case or case number, or any variation on the letters that result from sliding your finger on the keyboard- don't do that. Tis method thus adds an entirely new layer of security. * ? ? Effective management of electronic evidence is an ethical mandate because the Model Rules of Professional Conduct call upon us to safeguard our clients' property.
