I saw an article recently about competency and the need for lawyers to become proficient on electronic discovery or else face disciplinary rule violations. I am an older lawyer.  What should I do?

Under the Rules of Professional Conduct there are requirements, particularly in comments to Rule 1.1, the competence rule, for lawyers to maintain competency in the law and new technology. Electronic discovery (e-discovery) is normally an issue in major civil cases and commercial litigation. Obviously, there is a different world that must be mastered or an associate who is familiar with this technology must be hired.
