Tom Shumate's recent blog post Are Technophobes Incompetent? discusses the duty of lawyer to keep up with current technology relevant to his or her areas of practice. 10 or 15 years ago, staying current and "competent" primarily meant keeping up with recent appellate decisions and legislative enactments. Now keeping up with technology is just as important to a lawyer (and the client) as keeping up with changes in the law. It is also clear that technology is evolving a much faster rate than the law, and it is more of a challenge to keep up with evolving technology.
