According to a recent analysis from Bloomberg Law, the legal industry has a lawyer well-being problem. The 24/7 work culture is now a reality, and those previously able to compartmentalize the different areas of their lives are now facing the challenge of acting in multiple roles all at the same time: worker, partner, caregiver and teacher. Working from home has blurred the lines between work and life so much that it’s nearly impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins. The solution? The analysis suggests legal tech tools could be the answer. Find out how these solutions can help combat workflow challenges, increase efficiency and keep us all connected here

On Monday, The Supreme Court heard arguments on a case that could lead to sweeping changes to America’s controversial computer hacking laws — and affect how millions use their computers and access online services. At the center of the case is Nathan Van Buren, a former police sergeant in Georgia. Van Buren used his access to a police license plate database to search for an acquaintance in exchange for cash. Van Buren was caught and prosecuted on two counts: accepting a kickback for accessing the police database and violating the Counter Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). 

The CFAA was signed into federal law in 1986 and predates the modern internet as we know it. The controversial law was designed to prosecute hackers, but has been dubbed as the “worst law” in the technology law books by critics who say it’s outdated and vague language fails to protect good-faith hackers from finding and disclosing security vulnerabilities.
