If someone listed themselves as a legal aid organization with your name in the phone book, you'd take action. What about online?
Cyber Piracy practices -- online vendors that steal your online presence by sitting on website urls similar to yours and pose as your organization -- are increasingly common. Do clients know the difference?
Programmatic issues in the 21st Century include ensuring your online presence is distinct and recognized by your client community. It also means protecting your online clients from predatory practices -- and websites that deceive clients as legal aid providers, or online parkers who hold domain names at a ransom.
This training will talk about Cyber Piracy practices, what NTAP's research about these practices reveal about YOUR site, and ways to protect your clients from predatory practices.
We are honored to have pro bono lawyers from firms at Dickstein & Shapiro in Washington D.C. and Milbank and Tweed to discuss how legal aid programs can protect themselves.
