🎙️ ABA Members Save $100 on the Lawyers' Podcasting Conference — Request Your Code by October 18, 2026!

ABA Members can save $100 on their tickets for a short time!

I just returned from Boston and the ABA Law Practice Fall Meeting. 🏛️ The conversations there reminded me why I value this community. Law Practice Division members think hard about how lawyers work, market, and serve clients. Many of those conversations turned to podcasting.

So I want to say thank you to my fellow ABA members in a practical way. 🙌

💵 The Offer

Through Sunday, October 18, 2026, ABA members can save $100 on registration for The Tech-Savvy Lawyer.Page Lawyers' Podcasting Conference. That reduces the regular $749.99 registration to $649.99.

The conference takes place Friday and Saturday, November 13–14, 2026, at 1765 Greensboro Station Place, 9th Floor, in McLean, Virginia. 🚇 The venue is one minute on foot from the Greensboro Metro station on the Silver Line.

✉️ How to Get Your Code

lawyers need to learn the Podcasting, Ethics, and AI Tools for Legal Professionals to grow your practice!

Requesting the code takes about two minutes. Send an email to LPC@TheTechSavvyLawyer.Page with:

1. 👤 Your full name

2. 📧 The email address you will use to register

3. 🪪 A screenshot of your current ABA membership card

Most members can pull up the card in their ABA account online. A simple screenshot is all I need. I will reply with your code personally.

Please send your request by Friday, October 16 so you have time to register before the offer closes. 🗓️

A few housekeeping points:

• The discount is for current ABA members only.

• It cannot be combined with other discounts, including team pricing.

• Your information is used only to confirm membership. It is not shared or sold.

A practical tip for firms: if two or more ABA members from the same office plan to attend, the $100 member discount beats our team savings of $25 or $50 per seat. Choose whichever saves you more. 👥

🎧 What You Get for Two Days

come learn with your peers how to create lawyer-centric Podcast workflows!

This is a working conference, not a lecture series. Every attendee leaves with a show concept, a format, an affordable gear list, a hosting and distribution plan, and an ethics checklist to review against their own jurisdiction's rules.

The program follows the roadmap in my book, The Lawyer's Guide to Podcasting. We move from strategy to topic and audience, then to format, gear, recording, editing, hosting, distribution, and growth. 📈

You do not need to be technical. We start with the equipment you already own. Windows, Mac, or both are welcome. 💻

🎤 Who Is Teaching

The faculty brings real-world experience to the room:

• Carolyn Elefant of MyShingle.com, our first confirmed speaker, on the ethics of podcasting (Carolyn Elefant Confirmed as First Speaker for the Lawyers' Podcasting Conference)

• Robert Ingalls of Lawpods, on DIY vs. outsourced podcast production (Robert Ingalls of Lawpods Joins Michael D.J. Eisenberg at The Tech-Savvy Lawyer.Page Podcasting Conference)

• Gordon Firemark, The Podcast Lawyer™, on the business of podcasting (Meet New Speaker Gordon Firemark, The Podcast Lawyer™)

⚖️ Why Ethics Gets Its Own Block

come learn How Lawyers Can Use Technology to Build Better Podcasts

A podcast is a public communication about your practice. That makes the ABA Model Rules part of every episode.

Rule 7.1 prohibits false or misleading communications about a lawyer's services. Episode titles, show notes, and guest introductions all count. Results-based stories need careful framing.

Rule 1.6 protects client information. A "harmless" anecdote can still identify a client when combined with a date, a location, or a practice niche. Your recording and editing tools matter here too. Under Rule 1.6(c), you must make reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized disclosure.

Rule 5.5 comes into play once your audience crosses state lines. Listeners in other jurisdictions may treat general education as legal advice. Clear disclaimers and careful phrasing help.

Rule 1.1, Comment 8, ties it all together. Competence includes understanding the benefits and risks of relevant technology. That now includes AI-assisted editing, transcription, and the answer engines that summarize your content. I explored that last point in MTC: Hidden AI, GEO, and the ABA Model Rules. 🤖

If staff or contractors help produce your show, Rules 5.1 and 5.3 on supervision apply as well.

One more reminder about your code request. 🔒 Please send only your name, email, and membership card screenshot. Keep client matters out of the message entirely.

🛠️ What two days actually buys you

This is not an inspiration seminar. It is a working program. You arrive with an idea, or with nothing more than curiosity. You leave with a one-page launch plan covering your show premise, audience, format, gear list, hosting platform, launch date, and first three guests.

Day One covers the "why, what, and with what." We start with the business case for a legal podcast. Then we turn to findability. That means how episode titles, show notes, and transcripts work for traditional search and for AI answer engines. 🔎 You will choose a format that fits your calendar. You will also learn which gear to buy first and what to skip. A hands-on gear lab lets you hear the difference between setups yourself. 🎧

Day Two moves from recording to a published show. We cover guest preparation, release forms, editing, show notes, hosting, RSS ownership, and distribution. We also cover the marketing habits that build an audience over time. If you want a preview of the production mindset, read MTC: Why My Ecamm Creator Camp 2026 Trip Is a Signal for Every Lawyer Podcaster to Up Their Game! I am bringing those lessons to McLean.

No technical background is required. Windows, Mac, or both — you are welcome. 💻

⚖️ Why the ethics block matters

🎙️ Robert Ingalls of Lawpods: Podcast Production, DIY vs. Outsourcing.

A podcast is a public communication from a lawyer. The ABA Model Rules follow you into the recording booth. That is why the conference gives professional responsibility its own dedicated block.

Rule 1.1 (Competence), Comment 8, expects lawyers to understand the benefits and risks of relevant technology. Podcasting tools, AI transcription, and editing platforms fall within that duty once you use them.

Rule 1.6 (Confidentiality) governs every client story you are tempted to tell. Anonymizing facts is not always enough. Sometimes informed consent in writing is the only safe path. 🔒

Rules 7.1 through 7.3 apply when an episode functions as a communication about your services. A statement that creates unjustified expectations can be misleading even when it is technically true.

Rule 5.5 (Unauthorized Practice) becomes relevant once listeners in other states start sending questions. Knowing the line between legal information and legal advice protects you and your audience.

Rules 5.1 and 5.3 (Supervision) apply when an associate, editor, virtual assistant, or AI tool helps produce your show. You remain responsible for the final product.

I explored how AI and search now shape the way clients find lawyers in MTC: Hidden AI, GEO, and the ABA Model Rules: What Every Lawyer Needs to Know Before Their Next Client Finds Them Online. I also addressed AI verification duties in MTC: Even Though AI Hallucinations Are Down, Lawyers Still Must Verify AI, Guard PII, and Follow ABA Ethics Rules. The conference turns those principles into a practical checklist. You will review it against your own jurisdiction's rules before you leave. 📋

📘 The roadmap behind the program

The conference follows the structure of my book, The Lawyer's Guide to Podcasting. It moves from strategic purpose to topic and audience, then format, gear, publishing, audience growth, and ethics. Two days in a room together let us turn those chapters into decisions you can act on Monday morning.

🤝 Bring a colleague

Podcasts are easier to sustain with a partner. A co-host shares the prep, the recording schedule, and the promotion. Our team pricing reflects that. Two seats save $25 per seat. Four or more save $50 per seat. Consider bringing your associate, your paralegal, or a colleague from your bar section.

❓ Still have a question?

🎙️ Gordon Firemark, The Podcast Lawyer™, on the business of podcasting!

Email me directly at LPC@TheTechSavvyLawyer.Page. ✉️ I read every message myself. If you are wondering about CLE in your jurisdiction, ask. I will give you a straight answer. One practical reminder: keep client details out of your email. Rule 1.6 applies to your inbox, too.

🎟️ Reserve your seat today

Early bird is over. Opportunity is not. Seats are limited, and the room will fill.

MTC: Why My Ecamm Creator Camp 2026 Trip Is a Signal for Every Lawyer Podcaster to Up Their Game 🎙️

🏕️ Ecamm Creator Camp 2026: Where Lawyer Podcasters Level Up!

This week, I am heading to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, for Ecamm's flagship Creator Camp. 🏕️ It is a three-day, hands-on gathering of podcasters, live streamers, video creators, and presenters. Ecamm describes it as its original, fully immersive Creator Camp experience. I am going because the standard for professional audio and video keeps rising. Lawyers who podcast cannot afford to stand still.

Let me be clear about why this matters to you. My attendance is not a vacation photo op. It is a signal. 📡 The bar for lawyer podcasts has moved. Listeners, clients, referral sources, and even AI search tools now reward content that is clear, consistent, and well-produced. A muffled microphone and a shaky webcam once passed as "authentic." Today, they read as careless. That is a hard truth, but it is a fair one.

The Audience Has Raised Its Expectations 📈

🎤 Lawyers' Podcasting Conference, November 13–14, McLean, Virginia

Your prospective clients watch polished content every day. They listen to professionally mixed shows on their commute. They watch creators who understand lighting, framing, and pacing. When they find your podcast, they compare it to everything else in their feed. They do not grade on a "lawyer curve."

This is not about vanity. It is about trust. A clean, well-organized episode tells your audience that you respect their time. It suggests that you bring the same care to your legal work. A sloppy episode sends the opposite message, even when your substantive advice is excellent.

I explored the discovery side of this in MTC: Hidden AI, GEO, and the ABA Model Rules: What Every Lawyer Needs to Know Before Their Next Client Finds Them Online. Search engines and generative AI systems increasingly shape how people first encounter lawyers. Strong transcripts, useful show notes, and consistent publishing give those systems better material to find and summarize. 🔎 Production quality and discoverability now travel together.

What I Expect to Bring Home 🧰

🎥 Shot Framing and Livestream Skills CAN Help Lawyer Podcasters Build Trust!

Creator Camp is built around learning by doing. Ecamm's programming centers on video creation, live production, podcasting, and presenting. I expect to sharpen skills in several areas that matter directly to lawyers:

• 🎥 Video presence. Camera placement, lighting, and framing that look professional without a studio budget.

• 🎧 Audio clarity. Microphone technique, room treatment, and cleaner recording habits.

• 🔴 Live production. Running a live show or webinar smoothly, including guests, overlays, and screen shares.

• ✂️ Efficient workflows. Recording once and repurposing that content into clips, posts, and articles.

• 🗣️ On-camera delivery. Pacing, energy, and conversational structure that keep listeners engaged.

Ecamm is not new to this community. Katie Fawkes and Doc Rock of Ecamm joined Stephen Embry, Michael Potter, and me for a spontaneous bonus episode, "🎙️ Bonus Ep.: Why Lawyers Should Embrace Mac - Insights from MacStock 2025 Legal Tech Panel," recorded live from MacStock 2025. That conversation reminded me how much lawyers can learn from professional creators. Creator Camp takes that learning further. I will take notes with one question in mind: what can a busy lawyer realistically adopt this November? Techniques that require a production crew will not make my list. Techniques that save time and improve clarity will.

The Ethics Do Not Take a Day Off ⚖️

Better production must never come at the expense of professional responsibility. Every new skill I bring home runs through the ABA Model Rules first.

ABA Model Rule 1.1, and specifically Comment 8, requires lawyers to keep abreast of the benefits and risks of relevant technology. That duty covers recording software, AI-assisted editing, automated transcription, and live-streaming platforms. Learning these tools well is part of competence. It is not a hobby.

Rule 1.6 protects client confidentiality. Live shows raise the stakes. A guest can mention a detail on air that you cannot edit out afterward. A screen share can expose a client file in the background. 🔒 Good production habits, such as closing windows and briefing guests, protect clients as much as they polish the show.

Rules 7.1 through 7.3 matter because a lawyer's podcast may be a communication about legal services. Statements must not be false or misleading. Calls to action need care. Rule 5.5 deserves attention when your audience crosses state lines. Rule 5.3 applies when editors, producers, virtual assistants, or AI tools handle your content. You remain responsible for their work.

AI deserves its own warning. Creator tools increasingly offer AI captions, summaries, and even synthetic voice features. I addressed the verification duty in MTC: Even Though AI Hallucinations Are Down, Lawyers Still Must Verify AI, Guard PII, and Follow ABA Ethics Rules. An AI-generated transcript can misstate a case name. A summary can drop crucial context. You must review what goes out under your name. ✅

Could Not Make It to Creator Camp? Do Not Worry 🤝

🔒 ABA Rule 1.6: Protect Client Confidentiality Before Going Live!

Here is the good news. You do not need to travel to New Hampshire to benefit. I am bringing what I learn, hone, and improve at Creator Camp directly to The Tech-Savvy Lawyer.Page Lawyers' Podcasting Conference. It takes place November 13–14, 2026, in McLean, Virginia. 📍

I will translate creator-grade techniques into lawyer-ready workflows. That means filtering every tip through the realities of practice: confidentiality, advertising rules, limited time, and modest budgets. You will get the practical takeaways without the guesswork.

The conference builds on the framework in The Lawyer's Guide to Podcasting. I was honored when the Library of Congress accepted The Tech-Savvy Lawyer: Lawyer's Podcasting Guide for its collection. The conference takes that work further through demonstrations, hands-on labs, and implementation planning.

You will also learn from experienced voices. Carolyn Elefant of My Shingle is our first confirmed speaker. Robert Ingalls of Lawpods will join me as well. 🎤

Over two days, we will cover:

• 🧭 Show strategy and format selection

• 🎙️ Gear and recording workflows, including tools you already own

• 🎛️ Production labs informed by my Creator Camp experience

• 🔎 SEO and generative-engine optimization

• 📡 Hosting, RSS ownership, and distribution

• ♻️ Repurposing episodes into articles, clips, and social posts

• ⚖️ A substantial ABA Model Rules ethics block

You should leave with a workable show concept, a production workflow, a publishing plan, and a jurisdiction-aware ethics checklist. The goal is implementation, not inspiration alone.

The Early Bird Special Ends Soon ⏳

🎙️ Lawyer Podcaster Heads to Creator Camp to Sharpen His Skills!

Now for the practical part. Early Bird registration is $499.99 through midnight on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. After that, the regular rate returns to $749.99. That is a meaningful difference for a solo or small-firm budget. 💡

ANNOUNCEMENT: 🌞 Early Bird 🦅 Registration Is Open: Save $250 on The Tech-Savvy Lawyer Lawyers’ Podcasting Conference!

Early-Bird Legal Podcasting Conference for Lawyers in McLean

If you have been waiting for the right time to turn your legal knowledge into a credible, ethical, and sustainable podcast, this is it. Early Bird registration for The Tech-Savvy Lawyer Lawyers’ Podcasting Conference is now $499.99 through midnight on September 30, 2026—a $250 savings before the regular rate of $749.99 takes effect. 🎧

The conference takes place Friday, November 13, and Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 1765 Greensboro Station Place, 9th Floor, McLean, Virginia 22102. It is a one-minute walk from the Greensboro Metro station on the Silver Line. That means attendees can arrive from Dulles or Reagan National by rail, skip the rental car, and spend their time on what matters: building a podcast strategy that fits their practice. 🚇

This is not a generic creator conference with a legal panel squeezed into the schedule. It is a two-day, in-person working conference for lawyers who want to launch, improve, or responsibly grow a podcast. The program is designed for solo practitioners, small-firm lawyers, legal technologists, bar leaders, and professionals who understand that publishing is now part of professional visibility.

Podcasting is not simply a marketing tactic. Done well, it is a practical way to teach, build trust, develop referral relationships, and create an enduring body of searchable content. As I wrote in “MTC: Hidden AI, GEO, and the ABA Model Rules”, prospective clients increasingly encounter lawyers through search engines and generative AI systems before they ever visit a firm website. A thoughtful catalog of episodes, transcripts, show notes, and related articles gives those systems meaningful material to find, attribute, and summarize. 🔎

A bare biography page tells people where you went to school. A useful podcast can show them how you think.

What You Will Learn

Master Legal Podcasting to Amplify Expertise and Impact

The conference follows the practical framework of “The Lawyer’s Guide to Podcasting”, then takes the work further through demonstrations, hands-on labs, peer discussion, and implementation planning.

Day One focuses on the strategic and technical foundation:

• Choosing a niche, audience, and show concept that a busy lawyer can sustain.

• Selecting among solo, interview, panel, case-study, and educational formats.

• Using SEO and generative-engine optimization to make each episode easier to find.

• Building a gear setup that matches your budget, from a credible starter kit to a full studio workflow. 🎛️

• Recording in an office environment without overlooking sound quality or confidentiality.

• Learning through hands-on audio and video labs.

• Watching a live recording and post-recording teardown during the evening reception. 🍷

Day Two moves from recording to publication and growth:

• Inviting guests, preparing interviews, and using release forms.

• Editing, show notes, transcripts, and publication checklists.

• Hosting platforms, RSS ownership, directory distribution, and website integration.

• Repurposing each episode for newsletters, LinkedIn, video clips, articles, and social media.

• Building a cadence that supports a practice instead of consuming it.

• Measuring success through meaningful indicators, including referral relationships and qualified inquiries—not merely downloads.

The agenda remains a working program while faculty confirmations continue. That is intentional. I would rather refine the schedule than lock in a lineup that does not serve the lawyers in the room. 📌 Speaker announcements will continue as participants confirm.

Ethics Is Not an Add-On ⚖️

Save on the Lawyers’ Podcasting Conference: Register Early

The ethics block is the centerpiece of the conference, not a last-minute disclaimer slide.

Lawyers who podcast need more than a microphone and a clever title. They need a process for identifying professional-responsibility issues before publication. ABA Model Rule 1.1, especially Comment 8, requires lawyers to keep abreast of the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology. That duty reaches podcasting tools, AI-assisted editing, automated transcription, synthetic media, and distribution platforms.

Rule 1.6 governs client confidentiality. A story can be “anonymized” and still identify a client, a matter, or a person connected to a matter. Rules 7.1 7.1 through 7.3 matter because a podcast may communicate information about a lawyer’s services and may trigger state-specific advertising or solicitation rules. Rule 5.5 deserves attention once your audience reaches beyond your licensing jurisdiction. Rule 5.3 applies when editors, contractors, virtual assistants, or AI tools handle content that could implicate client information or public-facing legal communications.

And when AI is in the production workflow, verification remains nonnegotiable. I made that point in “MTC: Even Though AI Hallucinations Are Down, Lawyers Still Must Verify AI, Guard PII, and Follow ABA Ethics Rules”. A polished transcript can misstate a legal authority. An AI-generated summary can omit context. A synthetic clip can create disclosure and trust issues. Every attendee should leave with an ethics checklist that reflects their own jurisdiction and workflow. ✅

Bring a Colleague and Save

Podcasting works better when it is not a solitary project. Bring a colleague, an associate, a marketing professional, or the person who will help your firm execute the plan after the conference.

Bulk-seat savings apply to the Early Bird registration price:

• Purchase 2 seats and save $25 per seat.

• Purchase 4 or more seats and save $50 per seat.

That makes this an especially practical opportunity for small firms, practice groups, legal-tech teams, bar associations, and law-school programs that want a shared approach to thought leadership and responsible digital publishing. 🤝

🎙️ Robert Ingalls of Lawpods Joins Michael D.J. Eisenberg at The Tech-Savvy Lawyer.Page Podcasting Conference

Join us at the lawyers podcasting conference to learn from robert ingalls of lawpods!

I am pleased to announce that Robert Ingalls of Lawpods will join me at The Tech-Savvy Lawyer.Page Podcasting Conference, November 13–14, 2026, in McLean, Virginia. 🎙️

Robert and I will tackle two questions that shape every successful legal podcast:

1. Why should lawyers podcast?

2. When should lawyers outsource production, and how much of the work should they delegate?

Those questions sound simple. They are not. A legal podcast can become a powerful professional asset. It can also become a half-finished project, an expensive hobby, or an ethical problem if a lawyer treats it as ordinary content marketing.

This conference is designed for the lawyer who wants to do it correctly. That includes solo practitioners, small-firm lawyers, in-house counsel, AI-curious professionals, and lawyers who have bought a microphone but have not yet published Episode One. ⚖️

We will meet Friday, November 13, and Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 1765 Greensboro Station Place, 9th Floor, McLean, Virginia 22102. The venue is approximately one minute on foot from the Greensboro Metro station on the Silver Line. 🚇

WHY LAWYERS NEED TO PODCAST

Podcasting is not about becoming famous. It is about becoming known for useful work by the people who need to know you.

A prospective client may not understand your practice area. They may not know which legal term to search. They may not know how to distinguish one lawyer from another. But they understand a helpful voice explaining a difficult problem with clarity and restraint.

That is the strategic value of a well-run show.

A lawyer podcast can:

join your colleagues at the Legal Podcasting Conference: Build a Sustainable Lawyer-Led Show

• Demonstrate knowledge in a focused practice niche.

• Build trust before an initial consultation.

• Create meaningful relationships with guests and referral sources.

• Help lawyers stay current by requiring them to prepare and explain legal developments.

• Produce transcripts, show notes, clips, articles, and newsletter content.

• Improve traditional search visibility through structured, indexable content.

• Strengthen generative-engine visibility when AI systems look for credible, attributable answers. 🔎

A static biography tells the public where you went to school and how long you have practiced. A useful podcast lets people hear how you think.

That distinction matters.

In “The Lawyer’s Guide to Podcasting Is Here: A Practical, Ethical Launch Plan for Busy Lawyers”, I made the case for a practical, ethical approach to legal podcasting. The objective is not to produce a glossy entertainment program. It is to create a show that reaches a real audience, supports professional goals, and can survive a lawyer’s actual calendar.

Robert and I will explore that “why” on Day One. We will talk about identifying the right audience, choosing a workable format, developing a point of view, and setting a publishing cadence you can keep. 🎧

The best podcast is rarely the one with the most expensive gear. It is usually the one with a clear purpose and a host who publishes consistently.

THE PRODUCTION QUESTION

Then comes the question every busy lawyer eventually asks: “Do I really need to do all of this myself?”

The answer is no.

You may be able to handle every step. You can schedule guests, record interviews, edit audio, write show notes, produce social clips, publish the episode, and track analytics. You can also bill clients, prepare for hearings, manage staff, respond to emergencies, and attempt to have a life outside the office.

The more important question is whether you should do every production task yourself.

On Day Two, Robert will lead a practical discussion about outsourcing podcast production. We will examine the continuum between a fully do-it-yourself show and a fully managed production relationship.

A modern podcast workflow may include:

come learn How Lawyers Can Launch Better Podcasts Without Doing Everything!

• Show strategy and topic planning.

• Guest research, outreach, scheduling, and follow-up.

• Pre-interview preparation and release forms.

• Recording setup, backups, remote audio, and file handling.

• Audio and video editing.

• Transcript cleanup and accessibility review.

• Show notes, chapters, timestamps, and citations.

• Episode titles, artwork, clips, newsletters, and social content.

• Hosting, distribution, analytics, and audience engagement. 📡

Some lawyers should begin by doing more of the work themselves. Basic production knowledge helps you make better decisions, recognize quality, and understand what you are paying for.

Other lawyers should outsource much earlier. If editing becomes the reason you miss publication dates, if an episode sits unedited for six weeks, or if the technical work keeps you from serving clients, delegation may be the responsible business decision.

The right model may be hybrid. You retain control over legal analysis, episode themes, client-sensitive material, guest selection, and final approval. A producer handles technical cleanup, publishing, transcripts, graphics, clips, and repeatable administrative tasks.

That division can make a show sustainable. It can also protect the part of the work only the lawyer should perform.

YOU MAY DELEGATE WORK, NOT RESPONSIBILITY

Outsourcing does not erase a lawyer’s professional duties. ⚖️

learn Why Lawyers Should Podcast and When to Outsource Production

ABA Model Rule 5.3 requires lawyers with managerial or supervisory authority to make reasonable efforts to ensure that nonlawyer assistance is compatible with the lawyer’s professional obligations. It also addresses lawyer responsibility when a lawyer orders, ratifies, or fails to mitigate conduct that would violate the Rules if the lawyer had done it personally.

For a podcast, Rule 5.3 can apply to an editor, producer, virtual assistant, transcription company, social-media contractor, marketing consultant, or AI-enabled production platform. If those people or systems handle files, draft descriptions, clip statements out of context, or publish material, the lawyer must establish appropriate expectations and supervision.

ABA Model Rule 1.6 belongs in the conversation before an audio file is uploaded. Client facts that appear anonymous may still identify a client. A producer does not need to know the name of a client to receive confidential information. The context itself may be enough. Lawyers should evaluate what they record, where they store it, what they send to vendors, and what consent is required before discussing any matter publicly.

ABA Model Rules 7.1 through 7.3 matter because a legal podcast often communicates about legal services. A producer should not be left to make unsupervised claims about results, specialties, comparisons, testimonials, endorsements, or invitations to hire the firm. Advertising rules differ by jurisdiction. A nationwide audience does not create a nationwide exemption.

Model Rule 1.1, read with Comment 8, requires lawyers to keep abreast of the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology. That means understanding the tools in your podcast workflow well enough to make informed choices. It does not mean becoming your firm’s full-time audio engineer.

And Model Rule 8.4(c) should guide lawyers who use AI-generated clips, synthetic voices, or automated text. Do not publish content that misleads a listener about what was said, who said it, or how it was created.

I have written about the same verification obligation in “MTC: Even Though AI Hallucinations Are Down, Lawyers Still Must Verify AI, Guard PII, and Follow ABA Ethics Rules”. Human review remains essential before publication. 🎯

A CONFERENCE BUILT FOR PUBLICATION

The Tech-Savvy Lawyer.Page Podcasting Conference follows the practical framework of “The Lawyer’s Guide to Podcasting”.

Day One addresses why lawyers should podcast, what they should talk about, who they should reach, what format fits their goals, and what gear they actually need.

Day Two addresses guests, preparation, recording, editing, show notes, hosting, distribution, promotion, ethics, and sustainable operations. The conference is designed to help attendees leave with a show premise, defined audience, format, realistic production workflow, initial gear plan, and ethical checklist. 📋

Robert’s contribution is particularly important because the production question is where many good ideas fail. Lawyers begin enthusiastically. Then client demands increase. Editing piles up. The hosting platform feels confusing. The social media calendar goes blank. The show stops.

A sensible production plan can prevent that outcome.

You may not need a full studio. You may not need to outsource every task. You do need a process that will still work when your practice becomes busy.

🎙️ Carolyn Elefant Confirmed as First Speaker for The Lawyer’s Podcasting Conference!

I am pleased to announce the first confirmed speaker for The Lawyer’s Podcasting Conference: Carolyn Elefant, the lawyer, author, mentor, and longtime force behind My Shingle. ⚖️

Carolyn will join us in McLean, Virginia, on Friday, November 13, and Saturday, November 14, 2026, for two days devoted to helping lawyers create podcasts that build authority, serve their audiences, and hold up under professional scrutiny.

The event will be held at 1765 Greensboro Station Place, 9th Floor, McLean, Virginia 22102, roughly one minute on foot from the Greensboro Metro station on the Silver Line. That means attendees can arrive from Dulles or Reagan National by train, walk to the venue, and spend their time thinking about their show rather than their rental car. 🚇

Carolyn is the first confirmed faculty member aside from me, your host and presenter, and I could not be more pleased to begin the speaker announcements with her.

Why Carolyn belongs in this room

For decades, Carolyn has provided independent lawyers with serious, practical guidance on building sustainable practices. Through My Shingle, her writing, and her work in the solo and small-firm legal community, she has consistently addressed the questions that arrive after the easy answers run out:

• How do lawyers build an independent practice without compromising judgment?

• How do we communicate our value without overselling?

• How do we adopt new methods and technology without losing sight of professional duties?

• How do we create work that is sustainable rather than merely busy?

Those questions sit at the center of lawyer podcasting.

A podcast can be a powerful professional platform. It can make a lawyer easier to find. It can demonstrate substantive knowledge. It can introduce a lawyer’s voice and judgment before a prospective client ever makes contact. It can strengthen referral relationships and build a library of useful, durable content.

But the same microphone that helps a lawyer reach an audience can also create ethical problems at scale. A casual client story can disclose more than intended. A promotional claim can travel across jurisdictions. A discussion of a pending matter can create risk. A contractor, editor, virtual assistant, or AI tool can introduce questions of supervision, confidentiality, and verification.

Carolyn’s perspective will help keep the conference grounded in the reality of independent practice. 🎧

The ethics session is the centerpiece

The conference’s ethics block is not an obligatory closing slide. It is being designed as a dedicated CLE-oriented session and working exercise.

We will examine the practical rules that lawyer-podcasters need to understand before they publish.

Model Rule 1.6 is where client stories begin. “Anonymous” does not always mean unidentifiable. Details that feel harmless in isolation can identify a client when assembled by someone who knows the matter. Written informed consent is often the safer choice when a story is recognizable or commercially useful.

Rules 7.1 through 7.3 matter because a podcast can be a communication about a lawyer’s services. The analysis does not stop at federal or ABA language. Lawyers must also examine the advertising and solicitation rules in the jurisdictions where they practice and where their content is directed.

Rule 5.5 matters the moment a locally focused show reaches a national audience. A podcast host should understand the line between legal education and individualized legal advice, especially when listeners begin asking questions in comments, direct messages, or follow-up calls.

Rule 1.1, including Comment 8, addresses technological competence. The duty is not to become an audio engineer. It is to understand the benefits and risks of the technology a lawyer uses. That includes recording platforms, hosting services, transcription tools, AI-assisted editing, synthetic media, and the systems that distribute content beyond the lawyer’s direct control.

Rule 5.3 applies when nonlawyers assist with production. An editor, assistant, agency, or technology vendor can make podcasting manageable. The lawyer still has obligations to choose, instruct, and supervise those providers appropriately. That includes reviewing transcripts and show notes before publication, protecting client information, and maintaining final judgment over the content.

As I discussed in MTC: Hidden AI, GEO, and the ABA Model Rules, the question is not whether AI or discoverability tools are arriving in legal marketing. They are here. The question is whether lawyers will use them with care, transparency, and professional discipline. 🔎

What attendees will build

The conference follows the practical spine of The Lawyer’s Guide to Podcasting, then takes the work beyond the page.

Day One focuses on the strategic foundation: why lawyers should podcast, choosing a viable topic and audience, selecting a format, understanding SEO and GEO, and choosing equipment that fits the lawyer’s actual goals and budget. We are also planning hands-on gear work and a live recording with a candid teardown. 🎛️

Day Two moves from recording to publication: guest preparation and releases, editing and human review, show notes, hosting, RSS ownership, directories, distribution, marketing, repurposing, and the systems that keep a show alive after the initial excitement fades.

Then comes the ethical and operational work. Attendees will identify the rules that govern their own practices, choose a sustainable cadence, and leave with a realistic first-ninety-days plan.

A lawyer with a static bio page is easy to overlook. A lawyer with a thoughtful body of episodes, transcripts, show notes, and professional judgment is building a record that clients, referral sources, search engines, and AI answer tools can discover. The work still must be accurate. It must be ethical. And it must sound like the lawyer behind it. 🎙️

Carolyn’s confirmation is an excellent beginning. More faculty announcements are coming as they are finalized. Registration will open soon.

For now, reserve November 13–14, 2026, and follow the conference updates. Bring the show you have been meaning to start.

📣 Announcing the Lawyer’s Podcasting Conference – Coming This November

At MacStock 2026, during my presentation, “Podcasting with Apple: From Idea to Launch Using the Gear You Already Own”, I explored how lawyer‑hosted podcasts help attorneys educate clients, build authority, and grow their practices. Those insights sparked an idea that I first announced right after my session—and now it’s time to share it with you. 🚀

I’m excited to announce that we’re planning the first Attorneys Podcasting Conference, tentatively scheduled for Friday and Saturday, November 13-14*, in the Washington, DC metro area. This event is for solo practitioners, small and midsize firm lawyers, AI‑curious legal professionals, and anyone interested in practical, real‑world legal technology—whether you live in Windows, macOS, or a mix of both.

Why an Attorneys Podcasting Conference?

Legal podcasting sits at the intersection of client development, education, and professional responsibility. A well‑run podcast can support your law‑firm business by:

• Showcasing your subject‑matter expertise in ways a static bio never will 😊

• Deepening trust with current and prospective clients by explaining complex issues in plain language

• Keeping you top‑of‑mind with referrals, colleagues, and community partners

When you publish, you are speaking to the public about legal issues, and that triggers real ethical considerations. Under ABA Model Rule 7.1 (Communications Concerning a Lawyer’s Services), your podcast content must not be false or misleading, including how you describe your experience, results, or fees. Under Model Rule 1.6 (Confidentiality of Information), you must avoid sharing identifiable client information or facts that could reasonably lead to identification—even in anonymized stories. And Model Rule 5.3 (Responsibilities Regarding Nonlawyer Assistance) matters when you engage producers, editors, or marketing vendors to help with your show.

This conference will not only help you start and grow a podcast, it will help you do so ethically, in alignment with your jurisdiction’s version of the ABA Model Rules. ⚖️

What This Conference Is About

lawyer’s learn how to improve your Brand, seo and geo through podcasting!

This event is designed for attorneys who want podcasting to be a strategic business tool, not just a hobby. We’ll focus on:

• Why podcasting grows your law‑firm business
  We’ll dig into how a consistent, well‑targeted show supports client development, referral relationships, and thought leadership—without violating Rules 7.1 or 7.2 on lawyer advertising.

• From Hanging a Shingle to Yellow Pages to SEO to GEO
  For generations, law‑firm marketing has evolved step by step: you started by hanging a shingle, then moved into Yellow Pages ads, then into websites and search engine optimization (SEO). Today we’re entering a new phase: Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)—how your content is discovered, summarized, and surfaced by AI‑driven tools and generative engines.
  
  In this conference, we’ll talk about where podcasting fits in that progression: how a well‑structured show can support traditional SEO while also positioning you for GEO, so that when clients or referral sources ask AI‑powered tools legal questions in your niche, your expertise is more likely to be surfaced.

• How to start the right way
  We’ll walk through choosing a niche, format, and editorial calendar; building a workflow that respects your docket; and creating a basic compliance checklist so each episode stays within ethical guardrails.

• How to grow and sustain your podcast
  You’ll learn practical tactics for audience growth, repurposing episodes into blogs and newsletters, and integrating your podcast with email, social media, and AI‑assisted workflows—still mindful of Rule 1.6 when using cloud or AI tools.

• Tools, tech, and services for Windows and Mac
  We’ll explore microphones, interfaces, recording and editing tools, hosting platforms, and production services that work well in both Windows and macOS environments. Whether you’re recording in Audacity on Windows, GarageBand or Logic Pro on Mac, or a web‑based platform, you’ll see realistic, law‑practice‑friendly setups. 💻🖥️

The goal is a practical, hands‑on conference that helps you either launch a podcast or take your existing show to the next level, with clear, concrete connections back to law‑firm business growth and professional responsibility.

Who This Conference Is For

This conference is ideal for:

Lawyers, learn from seasoned podcasters and professionals how to start, ethically operate, and grow your podcast and your law practice!

• Solo and small‑firm attorneys who want a cost‑effective, authentic way to reach clients and referral sources

• Midsize firm lawyers and practice group leaders who want to align podcasting with broader content and business‑development strategies

• AI‑curious legal professionals who want to understand where AI‑driven transcription, summarization, and editing tools fit into podcast workflows, while staying within ethics rules on confidentiality and supervision

• Law‑firm marketing and business development professionals responsible for managing risk while helping lawyers stand out

• Vendors and sponsors offering equipment, software, production, hosting, AI tools, and marketing services for attorney podcasters

You do not need to be “tech‑forward” to benefit. If you can draft a motion, send an email, and open a file, you can learn this. The goal is to make the technology approachable, not overwhelming.

Windows and Mac: Equal Focus

Although much of my work at The Tech‑Savvy Lawyer ecosystem has featured Apple platforms, this conference explicitly serves users on Windows, Mac, or both:

• Demonstrations will include Windows‑friendly tools, Mac‑specific workflows, and browser‑based platforms that live above the OS line.

• We’ll highlight cross‑platform best practices, so your workflows survive hardware refreshes, lateral moves, or firm‑wide technology changes.

• We’ll talk candidly about IT and security considerations, including how to vet podcast tools under Model Rule 1.1 (Competence) and its comments on technology.

Your podcast should follow you, not the other way around. 😊

Vendors, Sponsors, and Live Recordings

We are building an expo experience that is more than just branded tables and pens:

• Vendor booths will include podcast production services, hosting platforms, AI‑assisted tools, microphones and interfaces, and legal marketing consultancies that understand law‑firm constraints.

• Sponsors will be able to support the event through traditional tiers and in‑kind contributions such as Wi‑Fi, coffee breaks, breakfast, lunch, or A/V and recording services.

• We plan to offer live‑recording opportunities, including:

  • Reserved slots to record your podcast on‑site

  • Live episode demos with an audience

  • Workflow walk‑throughs that highlight both Windows and Mac setups

Throughout, we will keep an eye on confidentiality, consent, and any necessary disclosures to stay within Rules 1.6, 7.1, and 7.2.
