Technology Competence is now a Duty in Hawaiʻi

Posted on March 23, 2022March 23, 2022 by Brian Huffman

Hawaiʻi has now adopted the duty of technology competence (effective Jan 1, 2022). We have become the 40^th state by my reckoning.

Rule 1.1

Maintaining Competence

[6]To maintain the requisite knowledge and skill, a lawyer should engage in continuing study and education and keep abreast of changes in the law and its practice, including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology. See comments [18] and [19] of Rule 1.6.

(Amended August 18, 2021, effective January 1, 2022.)
