FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CINCINNATI BAR ASSOCIATION & INTERNET FOR LAWYERS TEAM UP FOR TWO LIVE MCLE PROGRAMS ON TUESDAY, MAY 5 ‘The Cybersleuth's Guide To The Internet’ Programs ‘Super Search Engine Strategies for the Legal Professional’ & ‘Investigative Research The Cybersleuth Way’ Focuse on Finding Information About People Online At Little or No Cost Albuquerque, NM (May 4, 2009) – Internet For Lawyers, the country’s pre-eminent provider of live continuing legal education presentations helping legal professionals use technology and the Internet more effectively in their practice, has partnered with the Cincinnati Bar Association to present two of its popular live “The Cybersleuth’s Guide to the Internet” MCLE presentations on Tuesday, May 5, 2009. Nationally recognized Internet trainers and ABA authors (The Lawyer's Guide to Fact Finding on the Internet – http:// www.abanet.org/abastore/productpage/5110568) Carole Levitt and Mark Rosch, will show attendees how to be their own cybersleuth and unearth information at no cost (or at low cost!) on the Internet. Effective Internet searching should be a part of every lawyer's due diligence routine. From 9 AM until 12:15 PM, “Super Search Engine Strategies for the Legal Professional” will explore the best search engine strategies (including advanced search features at Google and other search engines) to help attendees meet their research obligations. These search engine strategies also serve as the essential building blocks for conducting effective research at other Web sites. The program also addresses the lawyer’s "duty to google" and court decisions where attorneys were admonished (and lost cases) because they failed to include effective Internet research as part of his due diligence process. Because a lawyer's research involves much more than just finding cases and statutes, knowing how to mine the wealth of information that people post on the Web can be a boon to attorneys who need to find background information about a person or to locate a subject. Whether it’s a transactional lawyer looking for information on a company, a consumer attorney tracking down a defective product, a matrimonial attorney searching for a spouse's assets, or a litigator looking for a missing witness, the Internet can be an indispensable source of information. From 1:15 PM until 4:30 PM, “Investigative Research The Cybersleuth Way” will focus on locating and extracting that information from specific Web sites. The seminar will also include a special focus on locating information contained in Social Networking sites and ways legal professionals have used that information to benefit their cases. Legal professionals may choose to attend one or both of the programs. Attendees will receive a copy of Carole Levitt and Mark Rosch's 330-page book, The Cybersleuth's Guide to the Internet, 9th edition (http://www.netforlawyers.com/prod01.htm) - a $59.95 VALUE! th

The seminars will be held at the Cincinnati Bar Association offices at 225 E. 6 Street.
