3D Forensic Imaging: Using Lidar and Photogrammetry in Your Legal Cases
There is a large remote fire loss in Alaska that takes 1-2 days of travel once you’re off the plane. Just as you arrive with your team, you get a text message that one of the parties will not be able to attend and wants to reschedule. What do you do?
This is where 3D scanning such as LiDAR and photogrammetry could save weeks of time and $1,000’s for all parties involved. This is an actual case example pulled from the files of Andrew Bennet, a fire & explosion investigator. In this CLE, Andrew Bennet will show you how 3D scanning can be deployed in your cases, detail the difference between LiDAR & photogrammetry, present 2 case examples & 2 actual 3D models, address the limitations and illustrate how 3D scanning can be used in litigation to virtually walk juries through crime scenes, accident reconstructions and fire investigations. Additional topics: scene documentation, virtual inspections, spoliation, crime scene work, “stitching,” joint scene exams vs. solitary exams, discovery & alteration, admissibility and receiving the 3D model.

Bitcoin, Charizard and NFTs: Cryptocurrency and Unusual Assets in Divorce Cases
Public keys, blockchain and NFTs. Crypto is becoming an increasingly more common asset in divorce cases. But the reality is that many attorneys have no clue about cold wallets, decentralized exchanges and Bored Apes. Further, crypto is also one of the easiest ways to hide money for a tech savvy spouse.
In this CLE Kelly Burris will discuss valuing unusual assets like collectibles, handling mineral rights and finding & dealing with cryptocurrency in divorce cases. Additional subjects: collectibles, getting an expert for valuations, the economic analysis method for valuing patents, the legal benefits of copyright protection, the strength & value of a trademark, “I Drink Your Milkshake” — The Rule of Capture, fair market value, book value, insurance value, appraised value, crypto for dummies, beyond BitCoin, public keys, private keys, decentralized blockchain wallets, the BlockChain, how parties hold crypto, third party centralized exchanges like Coinbase, mining, questions for clients, finding crypto, discovery, interrogatories and tax issues. Crypto can be an ideal way to hide marital assets because even an experienced family lawyer may not know enough to suspect its existence in a divorce case.

Decoding Digital Evidence: Digital Evidence 101 for Attorneys
The BTK killer operated for 25 years before being apprehended. His undoing was in 2005 when he sent a taunting floppy disk to a Wichita TV station. This allowed police to find metadata embedded in a deleted Microsoft Word document that was (unknown to Dennis Rader) still stored on the floppy disk & led police to uncover his identity at the church he worked at.
Twenty years later and the amount of electronic devices has exploded – and so has digital evidence – from Apple watches & cloud data to CPAPs & home security systems. But do you know where to look for it and how to analyze the digital evidence once you get it? Lars Daniel will explain why the field of digital forensics has become essential to attorneys because almost every civil & criminal case now hinges on data and digital evidence generated from electronic devices. Case examples presented: Distracted Driver Case (Cell Phone Forensics), Wearable Technology Forensics (Cyclist & Trucking Accident), Kidnapped!! (Apple Watch & iPhone evidence), Snapshot in time: User Actions, Video Forensics (Arson & Burglary), In-Vehicle Infotainment Forensics, Computer Forensics, Call Detail Records (CDRs): Arson, Lyft driver assault accusation and Audio Forensics (domestic violence & assault). Topics: structured data, semi-structured data, unstructured data, metadata, encrypted data, archival & backup data, system generated data, deleted data and the digital forensics method (Identification, Preservation & Acquisition, Examination & Analysis, Presentation & Reporting).
An expert, author and frequent speaker, Lars Daniel has attended over 300 hours of forensic training and has worked on over 500 cases involving murder, child pornography, terrorism, rape, kidnapping, intellectual property, fraud, wrongful death, employee wrongdoing & international e-discovery collections, among other case types.Practice Areas: Criminal Law, Litigation, Personal Injury, Technology

Ethics Guardrails for Law Firm Cyber Risk
This CLE program provides attorneys with critical guidance on navigating the increasingly intertwined worlds of legal ethics, malpractice risk & cybersecurity. As law firms become prime targets for cyber threats, ethical responsibilities under the ABA Model Rules demand heightened awareness and action.
Led by attorney Jeff Cunningham — who defends lawyers and firms in malpractice and ethics cases — this course explores the blurred lines between ethics violations and cyber negligence. Through practical strategies and real-world examples, the course offers attorneys actionable methods to build ethical “guardrails” that protect both client data and professional reputations. Topics include vendor due diligence, cyber infrastructure, legal tech trends, client counseling on cyber duties, and enhancing law firm security teams. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of key ethics rules, including Competence (Rule 1.1), Confidentiality (Rule 1.6), Communication (Rule 1.4), and Supervision Responsibilities (Rules 5.1–5.3), as applied in the digital age. Attorneys will walk away with a playbook for proactive compliance — ensuring they meet ethical obligations while mitigating malpractice and cyber liability in a high-risk environment.
Learning Objectives:
• Identify and interpret key ethical rules—including ABA Model Rules 1.1, 1.4, 1.6, and 5.1–5.3—as they apply to cybersecurity responsibilities in legal practice.
• Distinguish between ethical violations and legal malpractice in the context of cyber risk, and recognize how blurred boundaries create new areas of liability.
• Develop practical strategies for cyber compliance, including building secure infrastructure, conducting vendor due diligence, and training legal staff and nonlawyer personnel.
• Evaluate their firm's current cyber readiness and implement “ethics guardrails” to proactively reduce exposure to cyber threats and ethics grievances.
• Advise clients effectively on their own cybersecurity obligations, enhancing client service and meeting ethical duties under communication and competence rules.
