Bruce Green was quoted in the ABA Journal about the care lawyers should take when they’re traveling abroad with client information.
Fordham University law professor Bruce Green said he doesn’t think anyone will be disciplined for taking devices with confidential client information out of the country—yet. As lawyers become more aware of the issue, he expects that to change.
Green points to the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct that require lawyers to keep abreast of the benefits and risks associated with technology and to make reasonable efforts to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of information that relates to client representations.
