It will be held in the Mathias H. Heck Courtroom in Joseph E. Keller Hall on campus. It is expected to be Webcast to a number of law schools around the nation, but people are being encouraged now to talk about the issues through an online discussion forum. Wohl has invited experts from legal and nonlegal professions to discuss human adaptability and the legal profession's adaptation to rapidly developing information technologies. The symposium will feature such participants as Dianna P. Kempe, president of the International Bar Association, and David Mathews, president of the Kettering Foundation. There's no fee, but space is limited.
Lawyers can receive five hours of continuing legal education credit.
CPAs can also receive five hours of continuing education credit. Lexis-Nexis is very pleased to be working with the University of Dayton School of Law in support of this conference as a catalyst for the discussion of law and technology. It forces people to rethink what is the core of their profession if it's not information retrieval. That's a healthy thing for any profession. It's going to be interesting to see how it will shake out.
