Conflicts of Interest Checkers

Conflict checkers allow you to check for potential conflicts of interest. Many times conflict checkers are included with time-and-billing software, but they are also available standalone. Using your version of Clio, try out the Conflicts Checker.

Based on your experience with the Conflicts Checker, respond to the following:

• How does a conflict checker operate?
• What are its features?
• Do you think modern law firms can operate without using such a software program and still uphold their ethical obligations regarding client conflicts of interest?
