Winstead University: Ethical Concerns of Conducting Research via the Open Web

Presented by David Dilenschneider, Esq., Senior Director of Client Relations for LexisNexis

04.19.17

According to the ABA’s 2015 Legal Technology Survey Report, well over 90% of researchers use “free online resources” for their research and many of those practitioners actually start their research with such resources, most often via Google™. But what are the risks? And does reliance on such resources place practitioners at risk of violating ethical canons? Worse yet, is malpractice implicated?

LexisNexis is pleased to offer a fast-paced and revealing presentation addressing the ethical concerns of conducting research via the Open Web.

Search Tips:

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander.  A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.

Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used.  For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.

Operators

AND and OR may be used in a search.  Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance." 

The + and - sign operators may be used.  The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".

To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks.  For example, "Project Finance".

Searches are not case sensitive.
