Unit 8 Discussion Topic: Document Danger

Document security is an increasing concern for attorneys. Technology has exponentially increased the opportunity for forged or stolen documents. This is especially concerning for law firms that store confidential information electronically. If law firms do not maintain especially tight security, then they are at risk of malpractice exposure. Imagine how devastating it would be for a litigation attorney to discover during trial that the opposing side already knew the litigation strategy along with confidential information about the case. Research legal document security and discuss your thoughts regarding this important issue.
