[CLE] Social Awareness: Best Practices for Ethically Using Social Media in Your Law Practice

Brought to You by Attorney Protective

 

FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, oh my! New social media platforms seem to be emerging all the time creating ethical minefields for attorneys. Recent changes to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct hold lawyers to a higher standard of digital competence. Ethics opinions across the country are addressing these issues, including what you can advise your client to “delete” from their FaceBook page, whether you can contact witnesses via social media, and even researching the online profiles of prospective jurors.

Join speakers John Browning, J.D. and Kate Gould, J.D. to discuss this ever-evolving topic. As a lawyer and the author of The Lawyer’s Guide to Social Media and two more books on social media and the law, John Browning is an expert in the field. AttPro Risk Management Attorney Kate Gould joins him to discuss how the Model Rules of Professional Conduct translate to social media.
