I mentioned in a prior post that I was going to be fortunate enough to preside over the first in-person meeting of APRL in many, many moons last week.
I’ve also written in the past about APRL has begun working into its programming items we call “Fred Talks.” These are Focused. Rapid. Ethics. Discussions. Shorter and snappier presentations focused on an ethics issue or topic that is of interest but that might not justify a longer presentation than 10-12 minutes of time.
I think APRL’s program in Chicago went pretty well, and we avoided most technological glitches that might come from something of a hybridized program. It wasn’t a true hybrid as large parts of the program were simply available as a live stream to online attendees. But, I think it went fairly well.
At least it did up until it was time for me to present by own Fred Talk. That’s when things melted down. So, as promised to attendees, here is my Fred Talk on a new iteration of a potentially very devastating (and pretty sophisticated) scam that is targeting lawyers.
