What ethical issues might be raised in a review of a list of applications software programs on computers in the law office?

What will be an ideal response?


The most common issue is whether proper licensing agreements exist for the law firm to use each of the programs found on the computers and file server. An end user license agreement (EULA) is the agreement with the software vendor that authorizes and specifies the terms for the legal use of the software. For example, an end user license for an educational version of software is violated when used for commercial purposes. A license for one user is violated when used by multiple simultaneous users. Most trial or demo versions restrict the use of the software in the EULA. Continued use beyond the scope of the trial or demonstration period is usually a violation of the EULA.
