9:30 Future of Legal
Research
- In this moderated panel discussion, industry experts will discuss the current state of affairs and the future of legal research.
9:45 - 10:45 Ethics of
Outsourcing Legal Work - Want to grow your firm?
Historically, you could charge more or hire. But what if there was a third way?
Technology facilitates access to high quality legal expertise at a surprisingly
reasonable cost. Using freelance and contract legal help, you can do more work,
grow your firm, and help more clients. But, as is the case with everything for a
lawyer, it's important to be mindful of the business and, of course, ethical
implications of working with freelance attorneys. In this program, Greg
Garman, Partner at Garman Turner Gordon LLP and Co-Founder of LAWCLERK (a
marketplace for freelance legal help), will lay the business and ethical
groundwork to help growth-driven attorneys understand how they can use freelance
legal help to achieve their law firm business goals.
11:00 - 12:00 Advanced
Legal Research - In this session we'll take a look at advanced
legal research techniques and consider work that typically falls outside
our conventional understanding of 'legal research' but which
nevertheless represents common legal research needs.

Carlson, Attorney Editor for the Minnesota State Bar
Association.
