The Weaponization of Technology in Family Law Cases
2022-08-19 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | PA
1 Sub credit
Presented by Steven Bradley, Our Family Wizard
Summary/ Description: As our dependency and use of technology increases, we rely on electronic devices to complete many daily activities. Unfortunately, these same technologies are being seen more and more in family law cases where offenders have identified ways to exploit them in order to facilitate harm towards their victims and co-parents alike. In this interactive workshop, Steven Bradley will explore the risks and benefits of technology, not only for the clients we serve, but also for you in your personal and professional lives. Attendees will learn safety planning and evidence collection strategies for phone technology, location apps, social media, and more. Non-technical language will be used throughout the presentation and how to safely navigate the world of technology.
Educational Objectives:
Upon the completion of the workshop, attendees will be able to
• List three types of technology used to monitor, harass and abuse,
• Describe evidence collection strategies for text messages and social networking posts,
• Identify eight strategies for safety planning around technology, and
• List the top three security settings for mobile devices.

“I Don’t Belong” - Imposter Syndrome in the Legal Profession

“I Don’t Belong” – Imposter Syndrome in the Legal Profession
1 Ethics Credit

Presented by:
Brian S Quinn, Esq
Lawyers Concerned For Lawyers
Imposter syndrome, also called perceived fraudulence, involves feelings of self-doubt and personal incompetence that persist despite your education, experience, and accomplishments. While early studies focused on highly successful women, it is now clear that it can affect anyone in the legal profession – from law students to Big Law executives.
Living in constant fear of discovery, you strive for perfection in everything you do. You might feel guilty or worthless when you can’t achieve it, not to mention burned out and overwhelmed by your continued efforts. The results can be devastating.
True imposter feelings involve self-doubt, uncertainty about your talents and abilities. But what if you find yourself in an environment where your peers fail to make room for you or imply you don’t deserve your success? Along with the more traditional factors, gender bias and institutionalized racism can also play a significant part in imposter feelings. Even if only perceived, they can surely reinforce the feeling you don’t belong.
Hear our experienced speaker discuss the impact of the untimely death of his mentor and how trying to “fill his shoes” became more than a job, it took over his life. The consequences were a decades long effort to cope with and then conceal those feelings with alcohol and drugs.
