KIA Corporate Counsel Speaks About Tech Audit for Associates at AALL Annual Meeting

Law Librarians Darla Jackson and Marsha Stacey recently returned from the 106th American Association of Law Libraries Annual Meeting.  Darla Jackson participated in the programming at AALL, with a program entitled "Law Librarians Expanding Traditional Roles and Assuming New Roles to Assist Attorneys In Complying with the Amended ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct Involving Technology."  Addressing a similar theme, the need for attorneys to develop technological competency, Casey Flaherty, who serves as corporate counsel for KIA Motors, spoke to AALL participants about the tech audit he has developed to test associates at firms.  So far, the associates are not performing satisfactorily on the audit.  When associates fail to pass the audit, which includes some basic task using whatever software the firm desires, Flaherty reduces the fees by five percent.  Read more about the tech audit here.
