About This Course

As with many professions today, social media is at the forefront of most attorneys’ marketing strategy. Both to build their reputations and market their practices, lawyers are greatly expanding their social media presence. But unlike other professions, the ethical obligations attorneys must adhere to can severely limit their ability to market themselves in the virtual world.

This CLE course will review proper procedures for an attorney's use of social media, the ethical obligations that guide such use as well as the ramifications for violations including disciplinary charges, sanctions, and embarrassing publicity. The course will also include discussions of how to appropriately use social media as an investigative or discovery tool, and how to counsel clients with regards to risks in social networking.
